Subject: [PATCH][next] vhost: Use flex_array_size() helper in copy_from_user()
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 08:09:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200731130956.GA30525@embeddedor> (raw)

Make use of the flex_array_size() helper to calculate the size of a
flexible array member within an enclosing structure.

This helper offers defense-in-depth against potential integer
overflows, while at the same time makes it explicitly clear that
we are dealing with a flexible array member.
