[PATCH v3 2/3] RDMA/mana_ib: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic

From: Erick Archer
Date: Sat Apr 06 2024 - 11:44:31 EST


This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].

As the "req" variable is a pointer to "struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2"
and this structure ends in a flexible array:

struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2 {
[...]
mana_handle_t indir_tab[] __counted_by(num_indir_entries);
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in
the kzalloc() function.

Moreover, use the "offsetof" helper to get the indirect table offset
instead of the "sizeof" operator and avoid the open-coded arithmetic in
pointers using the new flex member. This new structure member also allow
us to remove the "req_indir_tab" variable since it is no longer needed.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
modified manually.
