One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the
size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory
for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now
use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

This patch has been generated as follows:
for verb in set_unlocked clear_unlocked set clear; do
replace-in-files queue_flag_${verb} blk_queue_flag_${verb%_unlocked} \
$(git grep -lw queue_flag_${verb} drivers block/bsg*)

Except for protecting all queue flag changes with the queue lock
this patch does not change any functionality.

Motivated by the desire to illiminate the imprecise nature of
DM-specific patches being unnecessarily sent to both the MD maintainer
and mailing-list. Which is born out of the fact that DM files also
reside in drivers/md/
Now all MD-specific files in drivers/md/ start with either "raid" or
"md-" and the MAINTAINERS file has been updated accordingly.
