lib: objagg: 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 objagg_stats { ... struct objagg_obj_stats_info stats_info[]; }; size = sizeof(*objagg_stats) + sizeof(objagg_stats->stats_info[0]) * count; 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, stats_info, 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. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
