[ Upstream commit e5c5f3596de224422561d48eba6ece5210d967b3 ]
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.
