    drm/amd/powerplay/smu10_hwmgr: use struct_size() in kzalloc() · bcb35dad
    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[];
    };
    
    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:
    
    instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
    
    Notice that, in this case, variable table_size is not necessary, hence
    it is removed.
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
