回复: [PATCH] gpu: drm: use struct_size() in kmalloc()

[Pan, Xinhui]

Daniel, what you are talking about is totally wrong.
1) AFAIK, only one zero-size array can be in the end of a struct.
2) two struct_size will add up struct itself twice. the sum is wrong then.

No offense. I can't help feeling lucky that you are in intel.

You can then add them up, e.g. kmalloc(struct_size()+struct_size(),
GFP_KERNEL), so this patch here still looks like a good idea.
