Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] ovpn: use kmalloc_array() for array space
 allocation

Hello and thanks a lot for contribution!

This is indeed a nice improvement, however, we've been working on 
changing this part of the code.

We already have a pending commit in the queue (to be sent to net-next 
soonish):

https://github.com/mandelbitdev/ovpn-net-next/commit/9b62844193de705502fdf4a693dfe0f6c7d94f13

With the mentioned patch, the line you are changing does not exist 
anymore, therefore I don't think it makes sense to merge your patch 
first and then removing it again in the next commit.

Sorry about this!

Please feel free to stick around and submit more patches in the future!

Regards,
