Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes, in particular in the context in which this code is being used. So, change the following form: sizeof(*sgl) + sizeof(sgl->sg[0]) * (MAX_SGL_ENTS + 1) to : struct_size(sgl, sg, MAX_SGL_ENTS + 1) This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
