From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Subject: [PATCH net-next] cxgb4/l2t: Use struct_size() in kvzalloc() Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019 15:44:52 -0600 Message-ID: <20190115214452.GA19930@embeddedor> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, "Gustavo A. R. Silva" To: Arjun Vynipadath , "David S. Miller" Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org 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; struct boo entry[]; }; instance = kvzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
