Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH RESEND] Fix misuse of calloc() in linux/compat.h header

Dear Marek Vasut,

In message 1339176514-13137-1-git-send-email-marex@denx.de you wrote:

-#define kzalloc(size, flags) calloc(size, 1) +#define kzalloc(size, flags) calloc(1, size)

Does this make any practical difference?

I mean, are you aware of any problem that gets fixed by this patch, or even any kind of performance degradation?

"common/dlmalloc.src" says:

calloc(size_t unit, size_t quantity); Returns a pointer to quantity * unit bytes, with all locations set to zero.

Multiplication being commutative, I see zero effect in this patch?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
