Subject: [PATCH] qxl: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 10:21:52 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190108162152.GA25361@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 = kzalloc(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 = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
