-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
So, in order to avoid ending up with flexible-array members in the
middle of other structs, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to
separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the
flexible structure. We then use the newly created tagged `struct
nd_cmd_pkg_hdr` to replace the type of the objects causing trouble:
`pkg` in multiple structs.
Below is the before-and-after changes of the memory layout in `struct
nd_cmd_pkg`. This to illustrate that the use of `__struct_group()`
doesn't alter the layout, ensuring that user space remains unaffected.
Before changes:
struct nd_cmd_pkg {
__u64 nd_family; /* 0 8 */
__u64 nd_command; /* 8 8 */
__u32 nd_size_in; /* 16 4 */
__u32 nd_size_out; /* 20 4 */
__u32 nd_reserved2[9]; /* 24 36 */
__u32 nd_fw_size; /* 60 4 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
unsigned char nd_payload[]; /* 64 0 */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
};
After changes:
struct nd_cmd_pkg {
union {
struct {
__u64 nd_family; /* 0 8 */
__u64 nd_command; /* 8 8 */
__u32 nd_size_in; /* 16 4 */
__u32 nd_size_out; /* 20 4 */
__u32 nd_reserved2[9]; /* 24 36 */
__u32 nd_fw_size; /* 60 4 */
}; /* 0 64 */
struct nd_cmd_pkg_hdr __hdr; /* 0 64 */
}; /* 0 64 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
unsigned char nd_payload[]; /* 64 0 */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
};
It's also worth mentioning that all members of the struct can still be
accessed directly, for example instance->nd_family, instance->nd_command,
and so on.
So, with these changes, fix 12 of the following warnings:
drivers/acpi/nfit/intel.c:692:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
