video: fbdev/mmp/core: 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 mmp_path { ... struct mmp_overlay overlays[0]; }; size = sizeof(struct mmp_path) + count * sizeof(struct mmp_overlay); 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, overlays, count), GFP_KERNEL) Notice that, in this case, variable size is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
