[PATCH v2 3/4][next] uapi: net: arp: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 1 month 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 a couple of composite structs, which are currently causing
trouble, from `struct sockaddr` to `struct __kernel_sockaddr_legacy`.

include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:118:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:119:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:121:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:126:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/uapi/linux/if_arp.h:127:25: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Also, refactor some related code, accordingly.
