Regards,

This patch series improves memory safety in the qedf SCSI driver by:

1. Replace kmalloc_array() with kcalloc() to avoid old (dirty) data being
   used/freed.
2. Add a check for "bdt_info". Otherwise, if one of the allocations
   for "cmgr->io_bdt_pool[i]" fails, "bdt_info->bd_tbl" will cause a NULL
   pointer dereference.

### Changelog:
#### v2:
- Replace kzalloc() with kcalloc().

Jiasheng Jiang (2):
  scsi: qedf: Replace kmalloc_array() with kcalloc()
  scsi: qedf: Add check for bdt_info

This is just an array that is then properly all initialized a few lines
below this.

So why does this need to be zeroed out at all?

Oh, I think I figured it out, but your text for the changelog is wrong,
and needs to be fixed to properly describe what is going on here.

"Potentially" being freed.  It will not be used.  And this is only for
an error path that obviously no one has hit before.

Please explain this much better.
