@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ Selecting memory allocator
==========================
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.
