From 64202a21a449837aa155764029216d69019cfb15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Salvatore Mesoraca Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 17:04:55 -0700 Subject: ocfs2: drop a VLA in ocfs2_orphan_del() Avoid a VLA by using a real constant expression instead of a variable. The compiler should be able to optimize the original code and avoid using an actual VLA. Anyway this change is useful because it will avoid a false positive with -Wvla, it might also help the compiler generating better code.
