Subject: [PATCH][next] media: venus: hfi_cmds.h: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2021 16:57:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210210225720.GA13710@embeddedor> (raw)
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
Use flexible-array member in struct hfi_sys_set_property_pkt instead of
one-element array.
Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
fix the following warnings:
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_cmds.c: In function ‘pkt_sys_coverage_config’:
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_cmds.c:57:11: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of ‘u32[1]’ {aka ‘unsigned int[1]’} [-Warray-bounds]
57 | pkt->data[1] = mode;
