[PATCH v3 1/8] rapidio: Avoid bogus __alloc_size warning

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Sep 30 2021 - 18:27:23 EST


After adding __alloc_size attributes to the allocators, GCC 9.3 (but not
later) may incorrectly evaluate the arguments to check_copy_size(),
getting seemingly confused by the size being returned from array_size().
Instead, perform the calculation once, which both makes the code more
readable and avoids the bug in GCC.

213 | __bad_copy_to();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But the allocation size and the copy size are identical:

transfer = vmalloc(array_size(sizeof(*transfer), transaction.count));
if (!transfer)
return -ENOMEM;

if (unlikely(copy_from_user(transfer,
(void __user *)(uintptr_t)transaction.block,
array_size(sizeof(*transfer), transaction.count)))) {
