[PULL 06/14] block/iscsi: Document why we use raw malloc()
Posted by Kevin Wolf 2 years, 3 months ago
From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

In block/iscsi.c we use a raw malloc() call, which is unusual
given the project standard is to use the glib memory allocation
functions. Document why we do so, to avoid it being converted
to g_malloc() by mistake.
