Subject: [PATCH RESEND net-next 2/2] KEYS: annotate struct user_key_payload with __counted_by
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 09:37:13 +0200 [thread overview]

In-Reply-To: <20260409073711.57020-4-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to the flexible array member
'data' to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
