    ASoC: dapm: Use struct_size() in krealloc() · 07597910
    Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
    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[];
    };
    
    instance = krealloc(instance, sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);
    
    Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, use the new
    struct_size() helper:
    
    instance = krealloc(instance, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
