[PATCH 0/2] Fix NULL pointer dereference and use struct_size()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Hi,

The first patch in this series fixes a potential NULL pointer
dereference by adding a NULL check. A tag for stable has been
added for this patch.

The second patch promotes the use of struct_size() in devm_kzalloc().

Both issues were detected with the help of Coccinelle.

[PATCH 1/2] mfd: sm501: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case devm_kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on *lookup*

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

[PATCH 2/2] mfd: sm501: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

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[];
};

instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
