    kernel: module: Use struct_size() helper · 8d1b73dd
    Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
    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 module_sect_attrs {
    	...
            struct module_sect_attr attrs[0];
    };
    
    Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
    in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
    
    So, replace the following form:
    
    sizeof(*sect_attrs) + nloaded * sizeof(sect_attrs->attrs[0]
    
    with:
    
    struct_size(sect_attrs, attrs, nloaded)
    
    This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
