net/ipv4: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
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 ip_msfilter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o struct ip_msfilter { union { struct { __be32 imsf_multiaddr_aux; /* 0 4 */ __be32 imsf_interface_aux; /* 4 4 */ __u32 imsf_fmode_aux; /* 8 4 */ __u32 imsf_numsrc_aux; /* 12 4 */ __be32 imsf_slist[1]; /* 16 4 */ }; /* 0 20 */ struct { __be32 imsf_multiaddr; /* 0 4 */ __be32 imsf_interface; /* 4 4 */ __u32 imsf_fmode; /* 8 4 */ __u32 imsf_numsrc; /* 12 4 */ __be32 imsf_slist_flex[0]; /* 16 0 */ }; /* 0 16 */ }; /* 0 20 */ /* size: 20, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */ /* last cacheline: 20 bytes */ }; Also, refactor the code accordingly and make use of the struct_size() and flex_array_size() helpers. This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy().
