Linux kernel source tree

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].
As the "req" variable is a pointer to "struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2"
and this structure ends in a flexible array:
struct mana_cfg_rx_steer_req_v2 {
[...]
mana_handle_t indir_tab[] __counted_by(num_indir_entries);
};
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 kzalloc() function.
Moreover, use the "offsetof" helper to get the indirect table offset
instead of the "sizeof" operator and avoid the open-coded arithmetic in
pointers using the new flex member. This new structure member also allow
us to remove the "req_indir_tab" variable since it is no longer needed.
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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
