linux-toradex.git/Documentation/flexible-arrays.txt, branch v3.4.38 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end 2011-04-28T20:12:47+00:00 Eric Paris eparis@redhat.com 2011-04-28T19:55:52+00:00 5d30b10bd68df007e7ae21e77d1e0ce184b53040 Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.
