Subject: [PATCH v2 03/11] perf tests: Exercise the flexible array member path
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:08:41 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113200850.2803460-4-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113200850.2803460-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

No test covered find_flex_array() and get_flex_array_member().  Add one
that keeps a struct with a trailing data[] behind a global pointer and
checks that accesses past the struct size are resolved and named after
the flexible array member.
