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 nvif_mmu_kind_v0 {
...
__u8 data[];
};
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(*kind) + sizeof(*kind->data) * mmu->kind_nr
with:
struct_size(kind, data, mmu->kind_nr)
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
