From db4863fdb897f6c55461a0446592c524dae6bfbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2019 10:28:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cxgb3/l2t: Use struct_size() in kvzalloc() One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); instance = kvzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); Notice that, in this case, variable size is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva Signed-off-by: David S.
