cover Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

Hi!

This series aims to replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members in drivers/scsi/hptiop.h

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

PATCH 1/2 scsi: hptiop: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command and refactor the rest of the code, accordingly.

The following pieces of code suggest that the one element of array sg_list in struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command is not taken into account when calculating the total size for both struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command and the maximum number of elements sg_list will contain:

1047 req->header.size = cpu_to_le32(
1048 sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command)
1049 - sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg)
1050 + sg_count * sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg));

1400 req_size = sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command) 1401 + sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg) * (hba->max_sg_descriptors - 1);

So it's safe to replace the one-element array with a flexible-array member and update the code above, accordingly: now we don't need to subtract sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg) from sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command) because this is implicitly done by the flex-array transformation.

1400 req_size = sizeof(struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command) 1401 + sizeof(struct hpt_iopsg) * (hba->max_sg_descriptors - 1);

Accidentally merge line above ("1401" should start a new line).

The only binary output change I see is from the line numbers changing from the patch, as the argument to __might_sleep() is adjusted:

...

│       call   d1 <hptiop_reset+0x74>
│   R_X86_64_PLT32      __x86_indirect_thunk_rax-0x4
│ -     mov    $0x434,%esi
│ +     mov    $0x433,%esi
│       mov    $0x0,%rdi
│   R_X86_64_32S        .rodata.str1.1
│       call   e2 <hptiop_reset+0x85>
│   R_X86_64_PLT32      __might_sleep-0x4

...

So this looks good!

PATCH 2/2 scsi: hptiop: Use struct_size() helper in code related to struct hpt_iop_request_scsi_command

In reply to Gustavo A. R. Silva

Prefer struct_size() over open-coded versions of idiom:

sizeof(struct-with-flex-array) + sizeof(typeof-flex-array-elements) * count

where count is the max number of items the flexible array is supposed to contain.

Looks correct; thanks!
