Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: jz4780: use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 14:33:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180823193332.GA31602@embeddedor.com> (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);
