Subject: [PATCH v2][next] scsi: smartpqi: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2023 10:57:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y+KC+VJ5xdmMaMUc@work> (raw)

One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct report_log_lun_list.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

Changes in v2:
 In v1 we thought that the original code was allocating one too-many
 entries for the list. However, Don Brance commented that the allocation
 was actually intentional[1]. So, I added a code comment with his feedback.
