Subject: [PATCH][next] iavf: Replace one-element array in struct virtchnl_tc_info
Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 18:10:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210525231041.GA175914@embeddedor> (raw)

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in struct
virtchnl_tc_info instead of one-element array, and use the flex_array_size()
helper.
