The patch titled alsa: correct kcalloc usage has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was alsa-correct-kcalloc-usage.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: alsa: correct kcalloc usage From: Milton Miller <miltonm@xxxxxxx> kcalloc is supposed to be called with the count as its first argument and the element size as the second. Both arguments are size_t so does not affect correctness. This callsite is during module_init and therefore not performance critical. Another patch will optimize the case when the count is variable but the size is fixed.
