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().
