Hi Oliver,

thank you for your patience... :) I have a question to one of your
comments (see below).

Best regards,
Tobias

I'm unsure if I got this right: Are you talking about the fact, that
the use of 'kmalloc' will make 'acm->notification_buffer' valid again
(i.e. NULL or pointing to a correctly allocated block), after it was
"invalidated" by 'kfree' (in case the previously allocated buffer was
too small)?
The 'goto exit'-thing for me is just not to use the buffer if
allocation fails. Or am I missing anything here?
