H A D | bnx2x_vfpf.c | 370600af Thu Feb 07 21:29:10 CST 2019 Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> bnx2x: 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 = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL)
Notice that, in this case, variable fsz is not necessary, hence it is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
