Subject: ocfs2: replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2022 00:59:36 +0100
Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting C99
flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length array
declarations in a couple of structures and unions with the new
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro.
This helper allows for a flexible-array member in a union and as only
member in a structure.
Also, this addresses multiple warnings reported when building with
Clang-15 and -Wzero-length-array.
Lastly, this will also help memcpy (in a coming hardening update) execute
proper bounds-checking on variable length object i_symlink at
fs/ocfs2/namei.c:1973:
fs/ocfs2/namei.c:
1973 memcpy((char *) fe->id2.i_symlink, symname, l);
