Fix the following out-of-bounds warning by enclosing structure members daddr and saddr into new struct addr: arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [18, 23] from the object at 'sig' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'daddr' with type 'u8[6]' {aka 'unsigned char[6]'} at offset 11 [-Warray-bounds] Refactor the code, accordingly: $ pahole -C wl3501_md_req drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.o struct wl3501_md_req { u16 next_blk; /* 0 2 */ u8 sig_id; /* 2 1 */ u8 routing; /* 3 1 */ u16 data; /* 4 2 */ u16 size; /* 6 2 */ u8 pri; /* 8 1 */ u8 service_class; /* 9 1 */ struct { u8 daddr[6]; /* 10 6 */ u8 saddr[6]; /* 16 6 */ } addr; /* 10 12 */ /* size: 22, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */ /* last cacheline: 22 bytes */ }; The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a couple of arrays adjacent to each other in a single call to memcpy(). Now that a new struct _addr_ enclosing those two adjacent arrays is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of &sig.addr, because the address of the new struct object _addr_ is used as destination, instead. Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and avoid confusing the compiler.
