From 9ae9d9bfb72ce43ab5851da55dd17c5f64e87151 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 11:30:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] eeprom: at24: use struct_size() in devm_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 = devm_kzalloc(dev, size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); Notice that, in this case, variable at24_size is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
