This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2]. The "struct dma_fence_array" can be refactored to add a flex array in order to have the "callback structures allocated behind the array" be more explicit. Do so: - makes the code more readable and safer. - allows using __counted_by() for additional checks - avoids some pointer arithmetic in dma_fence_array_enable_signaling() Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#open-coded-arithmetic-in-allocator-arguments [1] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/160 [2] Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/8b4e556e07b5dd78bb8a39b67ea0a43b199083c8.1716652811.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
