From 2b90cb223320a93b1be6c2616efe6f9ff14d8b28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2019 16:06:13 -0500 Subject: libnvdimm, region: 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 nd_region { ... struct nd_mapping mapping[0]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct nd_region) + sizeof(struct nd_mapping) * count, 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, mapping, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
