Message-ID: <20190411234306.GA20668@embeddedor> Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 18:43:06 -0500 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@...eddedor.com> To: Thomas Graf <tgraf@...g.ch>, Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@...eddedor.com> Subject: [PATCH] rhashtable: use struct_size() in kvzalloc() 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 = kvzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
