Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add __counted_by_ptr macro
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 19:39:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121193957.1655580-1-morbo@google.com> (raw)
These patches add the __counted_by_ptr macro and then uses it in
mm/memblock.h. The name of the __counted_by_ptr attribute is the same as
__counted_by, but two different macros are needed, because of feature
skew in GCC and clang. Once the minmum versions of the compilers support
'counted_by' on both flexible array members and pointers in structs,
this macro will become obsolete.
Bill Wendling (2):
Compiler Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macro
memblock: annotate struct memblock_type with __counted_by_ptr
