| |
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 = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper:
size = struct_size(instance, entry, count);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
