    ath10k: use struct_size() in kzalloc() · 06ae8dc0
    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 foo {
    	int stuff;
            void *entry[];
    };
    
    instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, 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, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
    
    This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
