Added linux-scsi to CC as it touches drivers/scsi/ > /* stuff a sense request in front of our current request */ > - pc = kmalloc (sizeof (idescsi_pc_t), GFP_ATOMIC); > + pc = kzalloc (sizeof (idescsi_pc_t), GFP_ATOMIC); Please remove the space before the arguments. > rq = kmalloc (sizeof (struct request), GFP_ATOMIC); This and the one before should be "rq = kzalloc(sizeof(*rq),...);" This way you will always get the correct buffer size even if the type of rq changes.
