Subject: [PATCH] scsi: megaraid_sas: struct MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST: Replace 1-element array with flexible array
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2024 08:58:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240711155841.work.839-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

Replace the deprecated[1] use of a 1-element array in
struct MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST with a modern flexible array.

One binary difference appears in megasas_host_device_list_query():

        struct MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST *ci;
	...
        ci = instance->host_device_list_buf;
	...
        memset(ci, 0, sizeof(*ci));

The memset() clears only the non-flexible array fields. Looking at the
rest of the function, this appears to be fine: firmware is using this
region to communicate with the kernel, so it likely never made sense to
clear the first MR_HOST_DEVICE_LIST_ENTRY.
