Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] KEYS: annotate struct user_key_payload with __counted_by
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:57:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409225703.158552-7-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409225703.158552-4-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to the flexible array member
'data' to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Changes in v2:
