<id>urn:sha1:dad3280591abde4c100e8185e3e47bfe72ae53c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove array_size() calls and replace vmalloc() with vmalloc_array() in
bsd_alloc().

vmalloc_array() is also optimized better, resulting in less instructions
being used.

There are a few leading spaces before tabs and remove it by running
the following commard:

    $ find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i 's/^[ ]+\t/\t/'

<title>treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc()</title>

<content type='text'>
The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b)

with:
        vmalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vmalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

expression THING, E;
