[PATCH v2] md/raid5: Convert stripe_head's "dev" to flexible array member

[PATCH v2] md/raid5: Convert stripe_head's "dev" to flexible array member

[Kees Cook]

Replace old-style 1-element array of "dev" in struct stripe_head with
modern C99 flexible array. In the future, we can additionally annotate
it with the run-time size, found in the "disks" member.

It looks like this memory calculation:

        memory = conf->min_nr_stripes * (sizeof(struct stripe_head) +
                 max_disks * ((sizeof(struct bio) + PAGE_SIZE))) / 1024;

... was already buggy (i.e. it included the single "dev" bytes in the
result). However, I'm not entirely sure if that is the right analysis,
since "dev" is not related to struct bio nor PAGE_SIZE?

I still think this should be:

	/* allocated depending of RAID geometry */

now or dropped entirely, as the extra only made sense when it always
had that magic one.

The actual code changes looks good to me:

LTGM. Thanks!

I will hold this for a while until struct_size_t() merged.

Thanks!

Since my tree will introduce struct_size_t(), I will just carry it
there.
