Subject: [PATCH][next] ext4: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:55:51 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Z-SF97N3AxcIMlSi@kspp> (raw)

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the `DEFINE_RAW_FLEX()` helper for an on-stack definition of
a flexible structure where the size of the flexible-array member
is known at compile-time, and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

So, with these changes, fix the following warning:

fs/ext4/mballoc.c:3041:40: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
