[PATCH 0/3] net: wireless: use struct_size where appropriate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series fixes a few wireless drivers to use struct_size rather than open
coding some equivalent checks. This ensures that these size calculations
will not overflow but instead be bounded at SIZE_MAX.

In the first case, the code is first converted to a flexible array, which
saves a few bytes of memory in addition to the fix with struct_size.

These were caught with a coccinelle patch I recently posted at [1].
