wifi: ipw2x00: convert ipw_fw_error->elem to flexible array[]
The ipw_fw_error structure contains a payload[] flexible array as well as two pointers to this array area, ->elem, and ->log. The total size of the allocated structure is computed without use of the <linux/overflow.h> macros. There's no reason to keep both a payload[] and an extra pointer to both the elem and log members. Convert the elem pointer member into the flexible array member, removing payload. Fix the allocation of the ipw_fw_error structure to use size_add(), struct_size(), and array_size() to compute the allocation. This ensures that any overflow saturates at SIZE_MAX rather than overflowing and potentially allowing an undersized allocation. Before the structure change, the layout of ipw_fw_error was: struct ipw_fw_error { long unsigned int jiffies; /* 0 8 */ u32 status; /* 8 4 */ u32 config; /* 12 4 */ u32 elem_len; /* 16 4 */ u32 log_len; /* 20 4 */ struct ipw_error_elem * elem; /* 24 8 */ struct ipw_event * log; /* 32 8 */ u8 payload[]; /* 40 0 */ /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ }; After this change, the layout is now: struct ipw_fw_error { long unsigned int jiffies; /* 0 8 */ u32 status; /* 8 4 */ u32 config; /* 12 4 */ u32 elem_len; /* 16 4 */ u32 log_len; /* 20 4 */ struct ipw_event * log; /* 24 8 */ struct ipw_error_elem elem[]; /* 32 0 */ /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ }; This saves a total of 8 bytes for every ipw_fw_error allocation, and removes the risk of a potential overflow on the allocation.
