dm raid1: use struct_size() with 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 mirror_set { ... struct mirror mirror[0]; }; size = sizeof(struct mirror_set) + count * sizeof(struct mirror); 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, mirror, count), GFP_KERNEL) Notice that, in this case, variable len is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
