mlxsw: spectrum: acl: 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: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL) Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: NGustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> Reviewed-by: NIdo Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
