staging: ralink-gdma: 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 foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); 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: size = struct_size(instance, entry, count); or instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL) Based on the above, replace gdma_dma_alloc_desc() with kzalloc() and use the new struct_size() helper. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
