Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes, in particular in the context in which this code is being used.
So, replace the following form: sizeof(*sect_attrs) + nloaded * sizeof(sect_attrs->attrs[0] with: struct_size(sect_attrs, attrs, nloaded) This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
