Subject: [PATCH net-next] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2019 21:42:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190208034241.GA11858@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;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kzalloc(size, 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)
Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence
it is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
