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 rio_switch {
...
struct rio_dev *nextdev[0];
};
Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
So, replace the following form:
(RIO_GET_TOTAL_PORTS(swpinfo) * sizeof(rswitch->nextdev[0])) + sizeof(*rswitch)
with:
struct_size(rswitch, nextdev, RIO_GET_TOTAL_PORTS(swpinfo))
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
