Subject: [PATCH] crypto: deflate - Use struct_size to improve deflate_alloc_stream
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 17:32:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030163218.497730-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Use struct_size(), which provides additional compile-time checks for
structures with flexible array members (e.g., __must_be_array()), to
calculate the allocation size for a new 'deflate_stream'.
