From: Qianli Zhao <zhaoqianli@xxxxxxxxxx> There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
