net: sched: cls_u32: Fix allocation size in u32_init()
commit d61491a51f7e ("net/sched: cls_u32: Replace one-element array
with flexible-array member") incorrecly replaced an instance of
`sizeof(*tp_c)` with `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)`. This results
in a an over-allocation of 8 bytes.
This change is wrong because `hlist` in `struct tc_u_common` is a
pointer:
net/sched/cls_u32.c:
struct tc_u_common {
struct tc_u_hnode __rcu *hlist;
void *ptr;
int refcnt;
struct idr handle_idr;
struct hlist_node hnode;
long knodes;
};
So, the use of `struct_size()` makes no sense: we don't need to allocate
any extra space for a flexible-array member. `sizeof(*tp_c)` is just fine.
So, `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)` translates to:
sizeof(*tp_c) + sizeof(tp_c->hlist->ht) ==
sizeof(struct tc_u_common) + sizeof(struct tc_u_knode *) ==
144 + 8 == 0x98 (byes)

unnecessary extra
allocation size
$ pahole -C tc_u_common net/sched/cls_u32.o
struct tc_u_common {
struct tc_u_hnode * hlist; /* 0 8 */
void * ptr; /* 8 8 */
int refcnt; /* 16 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct idr handle_idr; /* 24 96 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
struct hlist_node hnode; /* 120 16 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
long int knodes; /* 136 8 */
/* size: 144, cachelines: 3, members: 6 */
/* sum members: 140, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
And with `sizeof(*tp_c)`, we have:
sizeof(*tp_c) == sizeof(struct tc_u_common) == 144 == 0x90 (bytes)
which is the correct and original allocation size.
Fix this issue by replacing `struct_size(tp_c, hlist->ht, 1)` with
`sizeof(*tp_c)`, and avoid allocating 8 too many bytes.
The following difference in binary output is expected and reflects the
desired change:
