[ Upstream commit c0a744dcaa29e9537e8607ae9c965ad936124a4d ]
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged:
$ pahole -C nfs_fhbase_new fs/nfsd/nfsfh.o
struct nfs_fhbase_new {
union {
struct {
__u8 fb_version_aux; /* 0 1 */
__u8 fb_auth_type_aux; /* 1 1 */
__u8 fb_fsid_type_aux; /* 2 1 */
__u8 fb_fileid_type_aux; /* 3 1 */
__u32 fb_auth[1]; /* 4 4 */
}; /* 0 8 */
struct {
__u8 fb_version; /* 0 1 */
__u8 fb_auth_type; /* 1 1 */
__u8 fb_fsid_type; /* 2 1 */
__u8 fb_fileid_type; /* 3 1 */
__u32 fb_auth_flex[0]; /* 4 0 */
}; /* 0 4 */
}; /* 0 8 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warnings:
