Subject: [PATCH] net: spider_net: Use struct_size() helper
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 15:21:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190828202108.GA9494@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 spider_net_card {
	...
        struct spider_net_descr darray[0];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(struct spider_net_card) + (tx_descriptors + rx_descriptors) * sizeof(struct spider_net_descr)

with:

struct_size(card, darray, tx_descriptors + rx_descriptors)

Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence it
is removed.

Building: allmodconfig powerpc.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
