-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
struct hci_std_codecs and struct hci_std_codecs_v2 are flexible
structures, this is structures that contain a flexible-array member
(__u8 codec[]; and struct hci_std_codec_v2 codec[];, correspondingly.)
Since struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs and struct
hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs_v2 are defined by hardware, we
create the new struct hci_std_codecs_hdr and struct hci_std_codecs_v2_hdr
types, and use them to replace the object types causing trouble in
struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs and struct
hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs_v2, namely struct hci_std_codecs
std_codecs; and struct hci_std_codecs_v2_hdr std_codecs;.
Also, once -fms-extensions is enabled, we can use transparent struct
members in both struct hci_std_codecs and struct hci_std_codecs_v2_hdr.
Notice that the newly created types does not contain the flex-array
member `codec`, which is the object causing the -Wfamnae warnings.
After these changes, the size of struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs
and struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs_v2, along with their
member's offsets remain the same, hence the memory layouts don't
change:
Before changes:
struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs {
__u8 status; /* 0 1 */
struct hci_std_codecs std_codecs; /* 1 1 */
struct hci_vnd_codecs vnd_codecs; /* 2 1 */
/* size: 3, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 3 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs_v2 {
__u8 status; /* 0 1 */
struct hci_std_codecs_v2 std_codecs; /* 1 1 */
struct hci_vnd_codecs_v2 vendor_codecs; /* 2 1 */
/* size: 3, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 3 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
After changes:
struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs {
__u8 status; /* 0 1 */
struct hci_std_codecs_hdr std_codecs; /* 1 1 */
struct hci_vnd_codecs vnd_codecs; /* 2 1 */
/* size: 3, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 3 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
struct hci_rp_read_local_supported_codecs_v2 {
__u8 status; /* 0 1 */
struct hci_std_codecs_v2_hdr std_codecs; /* 1 1 */
struct hci_vnd_codecs_v2 vendor_codecs; /* 2 1 */
/* size: 3, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 3 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
With these changes fix the following warnings:
include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1490:31: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
include/net/bluetooth/hci.h:1525:34: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
