If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" commit 76497732932f15e7323dc805e8ea8dc11bb587cf upstream. The use of zero-sized array causes undefined behaviour when it is not the last member in a structure. As it happens to be in this case. Also, the current code makes use of a language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as this one is a flexible array member, introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last. Which is beneficial to cultivate a high-quality code. Fixes: e48f129c2f20 ("[SCSI] cxgb3i: convert cdev->l2opt to use rcu to prevent NULL dereference") Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
