Erick Archer fca275dacc sctp: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
[ 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
