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 hv_dr_state {
...
struct hv_pcidev_description func[];
};
struct pci_bus_relations {
...
struct pci_function_description func[];
} __packed;
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 forms:
offsetof(struct hv_dr_state, func) +
(sizeof(struct hv_pcidev_description) *
(relations->device_count))
offsetof(struct pci_bus_relations, func) +
(sizeof(struct pci_function_description) *
(bus_rel->device_count))
with:
struct_size(dr, func, relations->device_count)
and
struct_size(bus_rel, func, bus_rel->device_count)
respectively.

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.
