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

Yes, it should.  Acked-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>

If you like, you could do a follow-up patch mentioning the use
of struct_size(), array_size() and array3_size().  I think this
document is the right place for those.  Their kernel-doc is included in
driver-api/basics.rst, but referencing those functions in this document
would draw peoples' attention to them.
