fs/select.c: use struct_size() in kmalloc()
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 = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); Also, notice that variable size is unnecessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190604164226.GA13823@embeddedor Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
