Hi Markus,

due to a lack of publicly available documentation on the Coverity
modeling language (or my blindness to find it), I was about to steal
some patterns from QEMU (to improve the kmalloc model for the kernel). I
think I stumbled over some inconsistency: Don't we need to allocate the
calculated size here, not the passed one?


If so, I can file a proper patch later.

Jan

You're right!  Please submit a patch.
