[PATCH] crypto: eip93 - use struct_size() and flexible array for ring allocation
Posted by Rosen Penev 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Embed the single ring as a flexible array member in eip93_device
instead of allocating it separately. This simplifies the probe path
and uses struct_size() for a single allocation.

This looks weird, too. If there is always only one "ring", why don't you 
embed it without the "[]" into the struct eip93_device directly?

So it's basically keeping the patch small and generating many WTFs for 
future reviewers of the code vs. having a bigger patch now and better 
understable code in the future. Not my decision (it's up to the 
maintainers), but FWIW I'd rather go with option 2.

Anyway, if you want to keep it short, wouldn't it also be possible to 
declare it as ring[1] instead and then keep the sizeof() instead of the 
struct_size() ?
