Subject: [PATCH] Input: gpio_keys - use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 10:23:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190618152325.GA21504@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 gpio_keys_drvdata {
...
struct gpio_button_data data[0];
};
size = sizeof(struct gpio_keys_drvdata) + count * sizeof(struct gpio_button_data);
instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, size, 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, data, 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.
