[PATCH] [SCSI] aacraid: Use kcalloc instead of kzalloc to allocatearray

From: Thomas Meyer
Date: Mon Dec 05 2011 - 12:33:44 EST


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.

The semantic patch that makes this change is available
in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/25/107
