Subject: [PATCH net-next] wimax/i2400m: use struct_size() helper
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2019 21:22:17 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190208032217.GA3232@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[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(void *);
instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
