[PATCH][next] kexec_file: Use array_size() helper in memcpy()
From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue Jun 16 2020 - 14:15:24 EST
Use array_size() instead of the open-coded version in memcpy(). These
sorts of multiplication factors need to be wrapped in array_size().
Also, while there, use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct.
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability
and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is
changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed as argument is not.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and, audited and fixed
manually.
