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 dlm_migratable_lockres
{
...
struct dlm_migratable_lock ml[0]; // 16 bytes each, begins at byte 112
};
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 dlm_migratable_lockres) + (mres->num_locks * sizeof(struct dlm_migratable_lock))
with:
struct_size(mres, ml, mres->num_locks)
Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
