As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, to avoid open-coded arithmetic in the kzalloc() call inside the create_attr_set() function the code must be refactored. Using the struct_size() helper is the fast solution but it is better to switch this code to common use of attributes. Then, remove all the custom code to manage hotkey attributes and use the attribute_group structure instead, refactoring the code accordingly. Also, to manage the optional hotkey attributes (hotkey_tablet_mode and hotkey_radio_sw) use the is_visible callback from the same structure. Moreover, now the hotkey_init_tablet_mode() function never returns a negative number. So, the check after the call can be safely removed.

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 Restructured Text 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.
