Add kvzalloc() and kvmalloc() functions to alloc-with-multiplies check in checkpatch.pl #187

Closed GustavoARSilva closed 2 years ago

GustavoARSilva commented 2 years ago

Update checkpatch.pl to check for instances of kvzalloc()/kvmalloc() that could be replaced with their 2-factor multiplication argument form kvcalloc()/kvmalloc_array(). So, they can be caught before new code is even committed.
