net: hns: use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(struct boo) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
