Our current memeory allocation routines suffer form an API imbalance, for one we have kmalloc_array() and kcalloc() which check for overflows in size multiplication and we have kmalloc_node() and kzalloc_node() which allow for memory allocation on a certain NUMA node but don't check for eventual overflows. Johannes Thumshirn (6): mm: add kmalloc_array_node and kcalloc_node block: use kmalloc_array_node IB/qib: use kmalloc_array_node IB/rdmavt: use kmalloc_array_node mm, mempool: use kmalloc_array_node rds: ib: use kmalloc_array_node block/blk-mq.c | 2 +- drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_init.c | 5 +++-- drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/qp.c | 2 +- include/linux/slab.h | 16 ++++++++++++++++ mm/mempool.c | 2 +- net/rds/ib_fmr.c | 4 ++-- 6 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.13.5 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
