Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version, in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that, in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows. Also, address the following sparse warnings: drivers/scsi/scsi.c:390:27: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/174 Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
