The mux_chip structure size is over allocated to additionally include both
the array of mux controllers as well as a device specific private area.
The controllers array is then pointed to by assigning mux_chip->mux to the
first block of extra memory, while the private area is extracted via
mux_chip_priv() and points to the area just after the controllers.
The size of the mux_chip allocation uses direct multiplication and addition
rather than the <linux/overflow.h> helpers. In addition, the mux_chip->mux
struct member wastes space by having to store the pointer as part of the
structures.
Convert struct mux_chip to use a flexible array member for the mux
controller array. Use struct_size() and size_add() to compute the size of
the structure while protecting against overflow.
After converting the mux pointer, notice that two 4-byte holes remain in
the structure layout due to the alignment requirements for the dev
sub-structure and the ops pointer.
These can be easily fixed through re-ordering the id field to the 4-byte
hole just after the controllers member.
This changes the layout from:
struct mux_chip {
unsigned int controllers; /* 0 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct mux_control * mux; /* 8 8 */
struct device dev __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 16 1488 */
/* XXX last struct has 3 bytes of padding */
/* --- cacheline 23 boundary (1472 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
int id; /* 1504 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
const struct mux_control_ops * ops; /* 1512 8 */
/* size: 1520, cachelines: 24, members: 5 */
/* sum members: 1512, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 3 */
/* forced alignments: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
To the following:
struct mux_chip {
unsigned int controllers; /* 0 4 */
int id; /* 4 4 */
struct device dev __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 8 1488 */
/* XXX last struct has 3 bytes of padding */
/* --- cacheline 23 boundary (1472 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
const struct mux_control_ops * ops; /* 1496 8 */
struct mux_control mux[]; /* 1504 0 */
/* size: 1504, cachelines: 24, members: 5 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 3 */
/* forced alignments: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
This both removes risk of overflowing and performing an under-allocation,
as well as saves 16 bytes of otherwise wasted space for every mux_chip.
