The vivid driver uses a complex logic to save one kalloc/kfree allocation. That non-trivial way of allocating data causes smatch to warn: drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-core.c:869 vivid_create_instance() warn: potentially one past the end of array 'dev->query_dv_timings_qmenu[dev->query_dv_timings_size]' drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-core.c:869 vivid_create_instance() warn: potentially one past the end of array 'dev->query_dv_timings_qmenu[dev->query_dv_timings_size]' I also needed to read the code several times in order to understand what it was desired there. It turns that the logic was right, although confusing to read. As it is doing allocations on a non-standard way, let's add some documentation while shutting up the false positive.

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.
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.
