From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 421c119f558761556afca6a62ad183bc2d8659e0 ] Unfortunately some versions of gcc emit following warning: $ make net/xfrm/xfrm_output.o linux/compiler.h:252:20: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] hook_head = rcu_dereference(net->nf.hooks_arp[hook]); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ xfrm_output_resume passes skb_dst(skb)->ops->family as its 'pf' arg so compiler can't know that we'll never access hooks_arp[]. (NFPROTO_IPV4 or NFPROTO_IPV6 are only possible cases). Avoid this by adding an explicit WARN_ON_ONCE() check. This patch has no effect if the family is a compile-time constant as gcc will remove the switch() construct entirely.
