Subject: [PATCH 20/20] selftests/vfio: Fix VLA initialisation in vfio_pci_irq_set()
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:04:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311203440.752648-21-mhonap@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311203440.752648-1-mhonap@nvidia.com>
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@nvidia.com>
C does not permit initialiser expressions on variable-length arrays.
vfio_pci_irq_set() declared
u8 buf[sizeof(struct vfio_irq_set) + sizeof(int) * count] = {};
where count is a function parameter, making buf a VLA. GCC rejects
this with "variable-sized object may not be initialized".
Replace the initialiser with an explicit memset() immediately after
the declaration.
Fixes: 19faf6fd969c2 ("vfio: selftests: Add a helper library for VFIO selftests")
