This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].
As the "ids" variable is a pointer to "struct sctp_assoc_ids" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:
struct sctp_assoc_ids {
[...]
sctp_assoc_t gaids_assoc_id[];
};
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 kmalloc() function.
Also, refactor the code adding the "ids_size" variable to avoid sizing
twice.
This way, the code is more readable and safer.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
modified manually.

Hi,
The Coccinelle script used to detect this code pattern is the following:
virtual report
@rule1@
type t1;
type t2;
identifier i0;
identifier i1;
identifier i2;
identifier ALLOC =~
"kmalloc|kzalloc|kmalloc_node|kzalloc_node|vmalloc|vzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc";
position p1;
@@
i0 = sizeof(t1) + sizeof(t2) * i1;
...
i2 = ALLOC@p1(..., i0, ...);
@script:python depends on report@
p1 << rule1.p1;
@@
msg = "WARNING: verify allocation on line %s" % (p1[0].line)
coccilib.report.print_report(p1[0],msg)
Regards,
Erick
