[PATCH] ubifs: super: Use struct_size() helper

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Wed Aug 28 2019 - 20:50:35 EST


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 ubifs_znode {
...
struct ubifs_zbranch zbranch[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(struct ubifs_znode) + c->fanout * sizeof(struct ubifs_zbranch)

with:

struct_size(c->cnext, zbranch, c->fanout)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
