struct_size() checks for overflow, but assigning its result to just a u32
may still overflow after a successful check.

Use a size_t instead in order to be cleaner.

Based on analysis from Dan Carpenter on another patch (see [1]).

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/00e84595-e2c9-48ea-8737-18da34eaafbf@kili.mountain/

looks like there are similar cases of struct_size -> u32 conversions in
other places:

struct snd_sof_control {
     u32 size;	/* cdata size */

ipc3-topology.c:        scontrol->size = struct_size(cdata, chanv,
scontrol->num_channels);
ipc3-topology.c:        scontrol->size = struct_size(cdata, chanv,
scontrol->num_channels);
ipc4-topology.c:        scontrol->size = struct_size(control_data,
chanv, scontrol->num_channels);

My coccinelle script does not handle such cases.


not sure how much of an issue this really is though?

I agree that in practice it should be safe as-is, but it can't hurt :).
I don't know this code well, but should [2] be part of the call chain, it is obvious that it CAN'T overflow.


I checked for places where such pattern occurs after Dan's comment on another patch. I'll see if I find better candidates.
