Printing numbers in parentheses (%d) adds no value and should be avoided.


Chapter 13: Allocating memory

The kernel provides the following general purpose memory allocators:
kmalloc(), kzalloc(), kcalloc(), and vmalloc(). Please refer to the API
documentation for further information about them.

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and
introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not.

Casting the return value which is a void pointer is redundant. The conversion
from void pointer to any other pointer type is guaranteed by the C programming
language.

The format of the data logged into the channel buffers is completely
up to the relayfs client; relayfs does however provide hooks which
allow clients to impose some structure on the buffer data. Nor does
allow clients to impose some stucture on the buffer data. Nor does
relayfs implement any form of data filtering - this also is left to
the client. The purpose is to keep relayfs as simple as possible.
