[merged] assoc_array-avoid-open-coded-arithmetic-in-allocator-arguments.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: assoc_array: avoid open coded arithmetic in allocator arguments
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     assoc_array-avoid-open-coded-arithmetic-in-allocator-arguments.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Len Baker <len.baker@gmx.com>
Subject: assoc_array: avoid open coded arithmetic in allocator arguments

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and
Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing.  This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting.  Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kmalloc() and kzalloc() functions.

Also, take the opportunity to refactor the memcpy() calls to use the
struct_size() and flex_array_size() helpers.
