Subject: [PATCH][next] xfs: Replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members
Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2023 19:24:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y9xiYmVLRIKdpJcC@work> (raw)
One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element arrays with flexible-array
members in structures xfs_attr_leaf_name_local and
xfs_attr_leaf_name_remote.
The only binary differences reported after the changes are all like
these:

3b8: movzbl 0x2(%rbx),%eax

3f9: add $0x1,%ebx
3fc: mov %ebx,%eax
similar changes in fs/xfs/scrub/attr.o and fs/xfs/xfs.o object files.
And the reason for this is because of the round_up() macro called in
functions xfs_attr_leaf_entsize_remote() and xfs_attr_leaf_entsize_local(),
which is compensanting for the one-byte reduction in size (due to the
flex-array transformation) of structures xfs_attr_leaf_name_remote and
xfs_attr_leaf_name_local. So, sizes remain the same before and after
changes.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
