__user is an important marker that is lost here.

I think this would be clearer as

	err = -ENOMEM;
	icode = kzalloc(sizeof(*icode), GFP_KERNEL)
	if (!icode)
		goto err;
	icode->gpr_map = (__user)kcalloc(512 + 256 + 256 + 2 * 1024,
					 sizeof(u_int32_t), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!icode->gpr_map)
		goto err;
	controls = kcalloc(SND_EMU10K1_GPR_CONTROLS,
			    sizeof(*controls), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!controls)
		goto err;

Maybe it should keep the original style, because i do as you said, and
error messages appear during compiling the kernel.

Thanks,

I think your suggested patch causes sparse errors when
compiled with "$ make C=2 sound/pci/emu10k1/emufx.o"

And sorry, I just typed my reply in the email client and
I didn't compiled it or anything.

Most likely my suggestion needs a semicolon after the kzalloc
and (__user void *) on the kcalloc cast.

cheers, Joe
