PATCH 1/1 wan: wanxl: use struct_size() in 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;
struct boo entry[];
};size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); 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:
instance = alloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL)
Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence it is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
