Subject: [PATCH] posix_acl: Use struct_size() helper
Date: Thu, 2 May 2019 11:57:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190502165733.GA3679@embeddedor> (raw)

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes, in particular in the
context in which this code is being used.

So, replace code of the following form:

sizeof(struct posix_acl) + count * sizeof(struct posix_acl_entry)

with:

struct_size(acl, a_entries, count)

and so on...

Notice that variable size is unnecessary, hence it is removed.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
