One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct MR_DRV_RAID_MAP and refactor the the rest of the code accordingly. It seems that the addition of sizeof(struct report_log_lun) in all the places that are modified by this patch is due to the fact that the one-element array struct report_log_lun lun_entries[1]; always contributes to the size of the containing structure struct report_log_lun_list. Notice that at line 1267 while allocating memory for an instance of struct report_log_lun_list, some _extra_ space seems to be allocated for one element of type struct report_log_lun, which is the type of the elements in array lun_entries: 1267 internal_logdev_list = kmalloc(logdev_data_length + 1268 sizeof(struct report_log_lun), GFP_KERNEL); However, at line 1275 just logdev_data_length bytes are copied into internal_logdev_list (remember that we allocated space for logdev_data_length + sizeof(struct report_log_lun) bytes at line 1267), and then exactly sizeof(struct report_log_lun) bytes are being zeroing out at line 1276. 1275 memcpy(internal_logdev_list, logdev_data, logdev_data_length); 1276 memset((u8 *)internal_logdev_list + logdev_data_length, 0, 1277 sizeof(struct report_log_lun)); All the above makes think that it's just fine if we transform array lun_entries into a flexible-array member and just don't allocate that extra sizeof(struct report_log_lun) bytes of space. With this we can remove that memset() call and we also need to modify the code that updates the total length (internal_logdev_list->header.list_length) of array lun_entries at line 1278: 1278 put_unaligned_be32(logdev_list_length + 1279 sizeof(struct report_log_lun), 1280 &internal_logdev_list->header.list_length); This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy().
