[PATCH] nvmet-fc: use zero-sized array and struct_size() in kzalloc()

[PATCH] nvmet-fc: use zero-sized array and struct_size() in kzalloc()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Update the code to use a zero-sized array instead of a pointer in
structure nvmet_fc_tgt_queue and use struct_size() in kzalloc().

Notice that 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 = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(struct boo) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

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

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Moving a pointer from the middle of a struct to
the end seems unusual for coccinelle.

Notice that the commit log says "detected", which does not imply
the script made the transformation by itself. :)

And all the script detected was this piece of code:

	queue = kzalloc((sizeof(*queue) +
				(sizeof(struct nvmet_fc_fcp_iod) * sqsize)),
				GFP_KERNEL);
