From 8adeac3be03d400f9c2391d52f85cd27bd188800 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2019 14:03:41 -0500 Subject: dm stripe: use struct_size() in kmalloc() 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 stripe_c { ... struct stripe stripe[0]; }; In this case alloc_context() and dm_array_too_big() are removed and replaced by the direct use of the struct_size() helper in kmalloc(). Notice that open-coded form is prone to type mistakes. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
