Subject: [PATCH] md-linear: use struct_size() in kzalloc()
Git-commit: f1e5b6239bdd46aa3f4e631611800ea7d10826c4
Patch-mainline: v5.1-rc1
References: bsc#1166003

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;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now
use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
