There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in struct ice_res_tracker, instead of a one-element array and use the struct_size() helper to calculate the size for the allocations. Also, notice that the code below suggests that, currently, two too many bytes are being allocated with devm_kzalloc(), as the total number of entries (pf->irq_tracker->num_entries) for pf->irq_tracker->list[] is _vectors_ and sizeof(*pf->irq_tracker) also includes the size of the one-element array _list_ in struct ice_res_tracker. drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c:3511: 3511 /* populate SW interrupts pool with number of OS granted IRQs. */ 3512 pf->num_avail_sw_msix = (u16)vectors; 3513 pf->irq_tracker->num_entries = (u16)vectors; 3514 pf->irq_tracker->end = pf->irq_tracker->num_entries; With this change, the right amount of dynamic memory is now allocated because, contrary to one-element arrays which occupy at least as much space as a single object of the type, flexible-array members don't occupy such space in the containing structure.
