Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/2] KEYS: annotate struct user_key_payload with __counted_by
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:44:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427114422.313356-4-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427114422.313356-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Add the __counted_by() compiler attribute to the flexible array member
'data' to improve bounds checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
