Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/11] netfilter: x_tables: Avoid a couple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 13:23:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410112352.23599-10-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410112352.23599-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warnings:

1 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:816:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
1 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:811:39: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM)
and a set of members that would otherwise follow it. This overlays
the trailing members onto the FAM while preserving the original
memory layout.
