[PATCH] memremap: Replace 0-length array with flexible array
Posted by Kees Cook 3 years, 1 month ago 
Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct ethtool_rxnfc's
"rule_locs" 0-length array with a flexible array. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

I think this is the same patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/YxKO%2FjY1x0xTpl4r@work/

It's actually in linux-next.

Hm, it's been in -next since September? Is this in a tree of yours that
didn't get pulled for v6.2?

No. I didn't send it. It's just one of the two patches I have in my -next
tree. They didn't look like high priority at the time.

Cool. I'd like to get -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 finished this devel cycle,
if possible. Can you add this one too?

I don't see it in patchwork which I find confusing too. :P
