[PULL 06/14] block/iscsi: Document why we use raw malloc()


From: Kevin Wolf
Subject: [PULL 06/14] block/iscsi: Document why we use raw malloc()
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 16:36:35 +0200

From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

In block/iscsi.c we use a raw malloc() call, which is unusual
given the project standard is to use the glib memory allocation
functions. Document why we do so, to avoid it being converted
to g_malloc() by mistake.
