Subject: [RESEND PATCH] ext4: Annotate struct fname with __counted_by()
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:52:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241022075252.34308-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
name to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Inline and use struct_size() to calculate the number of bytes to
allocate for new_fn and remove the local variable len.
