Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: d3: use struct_size() in kzalloc()
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 20:15:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180824011540.GA25716@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 = 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 issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
