[PATCH v3][next] scsi: smartpqi: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

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

 



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 report_log_lun_list.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

Changes in v3:
 - Amplify the existing comment instead of adding a new one. By Don
   Brace[1].
 - Add Don's Acked-by tag to the changelog.

Changes in v2:
 - In v1 we thought that the original code was allocating one too-many
   entries for the list. However, Don Brace commented that the allocation
   was actually intentional[2]. So, I added a code comment with his feedback.
