Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ovl_stack_free()
Date: Sat, 3 May 2025 12:34:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250503103415.281123-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Compared to offsetof(), struct_size() provides additional compile-time
checks for structs with flexible arrays (e.g., __must_be_array()).
No functional changes intended.
