Subject: IB/cm: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b5c61b968def698c21e1aa8ae402cca393fe491f;p=linux.git

IB/cm: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()

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 = kmalloc(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 = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
