Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/qcom: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2019 15:04:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190227210427.GA2844@embeddedor> (raw)
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 = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = alloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL)
Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_sz is not necessary, hence it
is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
