From fe14c67267886e3af3c377a7bee4e6f915778636 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Baker Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2021 16:58:13 +0200 Subject: dmaengine: milbeaut-hdmac: Prefer kcalloc over open coded arithmetic As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function.
