H A Dib_srp.cdiff 7a7b0fea6f848d0a73ee6defe6b9d192af2dda3a Tue Jan 08 17:08:05 CET 2019 Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> IB/srp: 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;
void *entry[];
};

instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, 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);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
