[PATCH] irqchip/bcm-6345-l1: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
Posted by Erick Archer 1 year, 12 months ago 
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].

As the cpu variable is a pointer to "struct bcm6345_l1_cpu" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:

struct bcm6345_l1_cpu {
	[...]
	u32	enable_cache[];
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the
kzalloc() function.

This way, the code is more readable and more safer.

irqchip/bcm-6345-l1: Prefer struct_size)_ over open coded arithmetic

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows.

The cpu variable is a pointer to "struct bcm6345_l1_cpu" and this structure
ends in a flexible array:

struct bcm6345_l1_cpu {
	[...]
	u32	enable_cache[];
};

The preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to do
the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the
kzalloc() function.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.
