Subject: [PATCH] percpu: Use struct_size() helper
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 14:06:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190829190605.GA17425@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 pcpu_alloc_info {
...
struct pcpu_group_info groups[];
};
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(*ai) + nr_groups * sizeof(ai->groups[0])
with:
struct_size(ai, groups, nr_groups)
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
