[PATCH] agp: Use kcalloc() as a hardening measure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The advantage of the kcalloc() function is that it checks for integer
overflows.  We should use it where ever possible as a safety measure.
Plus it is nicer for style reasons as well.
