Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/irq-bcm7038-l1: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2024 19:31:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240209183128.10273-1-erick.archer@gmx.com> (raw)
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].
As the cpu variable is a pointer to "struct bcm7038_l1_cpu" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:
struct bcm7038_l1_cpu {
void __iomem *map_base;
u32 mask_cache[];
};
the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the
kzalloc() function.
This way, the code is more readable and more safer.
