mtd: rawnand: marvell: use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
PATCH 1/1 mtd: rawnand: marvell: use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
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[];
};instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
