Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2014 03:23:35 +0530 From: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@...il.com> To: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>, linuxppc-dev@...ts.ozlabs.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: julia.lawall@...6.fr Subject: [RESEND PATCH] powerpc/mpic_msgr: Use kcalloc and correct the argument to sizeof mpic_msgrs has type struct mpic_msgr **, not struct mpic_msgr *, so the elements of the array should have pointer type, not structure type. The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also a bit nicer to read. The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes the first change is as follows: // <smpl> @disable sizeof_type_expr@ type T; T **x; @@ x = <+...sizeof( - T + *x )...+> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@...il.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@...6.fr> --- arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic_msgr.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic_msgr.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic_msgr.c index 2c9b52a..7bdf3cc 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic_msgr.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic_msgr.c @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ static int mpic_msgr_probe(struct platform_device *dev) dev_info(&dev->dev, "Found %d message registers\n", mpic_msgr_count); - mpic_msgrs = kzalloc(sizeof(struct mpic_msgr) * mpic_msgr_count, + mpic_msgrs = kcalloc(mpic_msgr_count, sizeof(*mpic_msgrs), GFP_KERNEL); if (!mpic_msgrs) { dev_err(&dev->dev, -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
