The patch titled Subject: mm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() to allocate array has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-use-kcalloc-instead-of-kzalloc-to-allocate-array.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/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Thomas Meyer <thomas@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() to allocate array The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also a bit nicer to read.
