Subject: [PATCH v10 nf-next 1/3] net: pppoe: avoid zero-length arrays in struct pppoe_hdr
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 20:59:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250315195910.17659-2-ericwouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250315195910.17659-1-ericwouds@gmail.com>

Jakub Kicinski suggested following patch:

W=1 C=1 GCC build gives us:

net/bridge/netfilter/nf_conntrack_bridge.c: note: in included file (through
../include/linux/if_pppox.h, ../include/uapi/linux/netfilter_bridge.h,
../include/linux/netfilter_bridge.h): include/uapi/linux/if_pppox.h:
153:29: warning: array of flexible structures

It doesn't like that hdr has a zero-length array which overlaps proto.
The kernel code doesn't currently need those arrays.

PPPoE connection is functional after applying this patch.
