overflow.h: Add flex_array_size() helper
Add flex_array_size() helper for the calculation of the size, in bytes, of a flexible array member contained within an enclosing structure. Example of usage: struct something { size_t count; struct foo items[]; }; struct something *instance; instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL); instance->count = count; memcpy(instance->items, src, flex_array_size(instance, items, instance->count)); The helper returns SIZE_MAX on overflow instead of wrapping around. Additionally replaces parameter "n" with "count" in struct_size() helper for greater clarity and unification. Signed-off-by:Gustavo A. R.
