This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].
Here the multiplication is obviously safe because DMAR_LATENCY_NUM
is the number of latency types defined in the "latency_type" enum.
enum latency_type {
DMAR_LATENCY_INV_IOTLB = 0,
DMAR_LATENCY_INV_DEVTLB,
DMAR_LATENCY_INV_IEC,
DMAR_LATENCY_PRQ,
DMAR_LATENCY_NUM
};
However, using kcalloc() is more appropriate [2] and improves
readability. This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
