-Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: 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 reqsz is not necessary,
-hence it is removed.
-
-This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
