The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1]. Here the array is declared using a variable that is declared using a constant statement but the compiler still emits a warning. We can clear the warning bu using the constant statement directly. The buffer size variable is set to zero on the error path; the buffer size variable is used later in the function, we can maintain this behavior by setting the variable using the macro ARRAY_SIZE. Use constant statement to declare array. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
