Add vzalloc() and vmalloc() functions to alloc-with-multiplies check in checkpatch.pl #342

Open GustavoARSilva opened 1 year ago

GustavoARSilva commented 1 year ago

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

Did this get sent upstream? I see the earlier commit 73f1d07e5f8a1dec989a5ec964f5f2ce5b6f8825, though?
