··· 88 88 ========================== 89 89 90 90 The most straightforward way to allocate memory is to use a function 91 - from the :c:func:`kmalloc` family. And, to be on the safe size it's 91 + from the :c:func:`kmalloc` family. And, to be on the safe side it's 92 92 best to use routines that set memory to zero, like 93 93 :c:func:`kzalloc`. If you need to allocate memory for an array, there 94 94 are :c:func:`kmalloc_array` and :c:func:`kcalloc` helpers.
