Subject: [PATCH] pid: use struct_size_t() helper
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2023 08:44:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230701-antrieb-rundbau-4b30efb507b2@brauner> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202306300950.2BE7567101@keescook>
Before commit d67790ddf021 ("overflow: Add struct_size_t() helper") only
struct_size() existed, which expects a valid pointer instance containing
the flexible array.
However, when we determine the default struct pid allocation size for
the associated kmem cache of a pid namespace we need to take the nesting
depth of the pid namespace into account without an variable instance
necessarily being available.
In commit b69f0aeb0689 ("pid: Replace struct pid 1-element array with
flex-array") we used to handle this the old fashioned way and cast NULL
to a struct pid pointer type. However, we do apparently have a dedicated
struct_size_t() helper for exactly this case. So switch to that.
