The kernel is globally removing the ambiguous 0-length and 1-element arrays in favor of flexible arrays, so that we can gain both compile-time and run-time array bounds checking[1]. In this instance, struct skl_cpr_cfg contains struct skl_cpr_gtw_cfg, which defined "config_data" as a 1-element array. Normally when switching from a 1-element array to a flex-array, any related size calculations must be adjusted too. However, it seems the original code was over-allocating space, since 1 extra u32 would be included by the sizeof(): param_size = sizeof(struct skl_cpr_cfg); param_size += mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size; But the copy uses caps_size bytes, and cap_size / 4 (i.e. sizeof(u32)) for the length tracking: memcpy(cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_data, mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps, mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size); cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_length = (mconfig->formats_config[SKL_PARAM_INIT].caps_size) / 4; Therefore, no size calculations need adjusting. Change the struct skl_cpr_gtw_cfg config_data member to be a true flexible array, which also fixes the over-allocation, and silences this memcpy run-time false positive: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 100) of single field "cpr_mconfig->gtw_cfg.config_data" at sound/soc/intel/skylake/skl-messages.c:554 (size 4) [1] For lots of details, see both: https://docs.kernel.org/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays https://people.kernel.org/kees/bounded-flexible-arrays-in-c Reported-by: Sasa Ostrouska <casaxa@xxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CALFERdwvq5day_sbDfiUsMSZCQu9HG8-SBpOZDNPeMdZGog6XA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Cc: Cezary Rojewski <cezary.rojewski@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Liam Girdwood <liam.r.girdwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bard Liao <yung-chuan.liao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ranjani Sridharan <ranjani.sridharan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kai Vehmanen <kai.vehmanen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxxx> Cc: "Gustavo A.
