[PATCH 2/5][next] nfsd: avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 1 year, 3 months ago 
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Address the following warnings by changing the type of the middle struct
members in `struct nfsd_genl_rqstp`, which are currently causing trouble,
from `struct sockaddr` to `struct sockaddr_legacy`. Note that the latter
struct doesn't contain a flexible-array member.

fs/nfsd/nfsd.h:74:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
fs/nfsd/nfsd.h:75:33: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Also, update some related code, accordingly.

No binary differences are present after these changes.

I was hoping to find a struct definition that was simply a union of
sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6, which we have in nfs-utils but I guess
not here in the kernel.

Can we use "struct sockaddr_storage" safely here? Then above,
replace the raw memcpy() with rpc_copy_addr() ?

sockaddr_storage is conceptually the right solution.  It is 128 bytes so
2 of them will waste about 200 bytes on the stack.  Does that matter
these days?  Probably not.

I do like using rpc_copy_addr().
