Use the struct_size macro to calculate the size of the tll, which includes a trailing flexible array. Signed-off-by: Javier Carrasco <javier.carrasco.cruz@xxxxxxxxx> --- The memory allocation used to be carried out in two steps: tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct usbtll_omap), GFP_KERNEL); tll->ch_clk = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct clk *) * tll->nch, GFP_KERNEL); Until commit 16c2004d9e4d ("mfd: omap-usb-tll: Allocate driver data at once") turned that into the current allocation: tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*tll) + sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]), GFP_KERNEL); That has surprised me at first glance because I would have expected sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]) to return the size of a single pointer, not being equivalent to 'sizeof(struct clk *) * nch'. I might be missing/misunderstanding something here because the commit is not new, and the error should be noticeable. Moreover, I don't have real hardware to test it. Hence why I didn't mark this patch as a fix. I would be pleased to get feedback about this (why it is right as it is, or if that is actually a bug). --- drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c b/drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c index a091e5b0f21d..5f25ac514ff2 100644 --- a/drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c +++ b/drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c @@ -230,8 +230,7 @@ static int usbtll_omap_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) break; } - tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*tll) + sizeof(tll->ch_clk[nch]), - GFP_KERNEL); + tll = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(tll, ch_clk, nch), GFP_KERNEL); if (!tll) { pm_runtime_put_sync(dev); pm_runtime_disable(dev); -- 2.40.1
