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 mgmt_rp_get_connections { ... struct mgmt_addr_info addr[0]; } __packed; 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(*rp) + (i * sizeof(struct mgmt_addr_info)); with: struct_size(rp, addr, i) Also, notice that, in this case, variable rp_len is not necessary, hence it is removed. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
