Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 11:26:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190104172637.GA28084@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;
void *entry[];
};
instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, 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, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
