What do you mean with the "should have been > kmemdup_array"? kzalloc_flex == kzalloc + kcalloc. kmemdup == kzalloc + memcpy. kmemdup_array == kcalloc + memcpy.
So all together, kzalloc + kcalloc + memcpy. Or kzalloc_flex + memcpy. Placing the memcpy right after counting variable assignment enables coccinelle to transform this whole thing into a single kmemdup_flex call if such a thing were to eventually be introduced. > > Thx. > > -- > Regards/Gruss, > Boris. > > https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
