[net-next:master 96/108] net/tipc/node.c:258 tipc_node_detach_link() error: buffer overflow 'n_ptr->links' 2 <= 2

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a style question and not a real bug:

Which is better:

OPTION #1: ignore static checker warnings

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
		if (found)
			break;
	}
	x[i] = 0;


OPTION #2: stop on the last element

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x) - 1; i++) {
		if (found)
			break;
	}
	x[i] = 0;


OPTION #3: add a bogus error test

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
		if (found)
			break;
	}
	if (i == ARRAY_SIZE(x))
		return;
	x[i] = 0;

OPTION #4: convoluted code

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
		if (!found)
			continue;
		x[i] = 0;
		break;
	}

It's not clear to me what the right answer is...
