[PATCH][next] ext4: avoid dozens of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we
are getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the `DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()` helper for an on-stack definition of
a flexible structure (`struct shash_desc`) where the size of the
flexible-array member (`__ctx`) is known at compile-time, and
refactor the rest of the code, accordingly.

So, with these changes, fix 38 of the following warnings:

fs/ext4/ext4.h:2471:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Worth mentioning is that this issue is pretty much the same as this
other one:

Thanks!
