net/ipv4/ipv6: Replace one-element arraya with flexible-array members
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].
Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to
keep userspace unchanged and refactor the related code accordingly:
$ pahole -C group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct group_filter {
union {
struct {
__u32 gf_interface_aux; /* 0 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux; /* 8 128 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
__u32 gf_fmode_aux; /* 136 4 */
__u32 gf_numsrc_aux; /* 140 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1]; /* 144 128 */
}; /* 0 272 */
struct {
__u32 gf_interface; /* 0 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group; /* 8 128 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
__u32 gf_fmode; /* 136 4 */
__u32 gf_numsrc; /* 140 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0]; /* 144 0 */
}; /* 0 144 */
}; /* 0 272 */
/* size: 272, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
$ pahole -C compat_group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o
struct compat_group_filter {
union {
struct {
__u32 gf_interface_aux; /* 0 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 4 128 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
__u32 gf_fmode_aux; /* 132 4 */
__u32 gf_numsrc_aux; /* 136 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 140 128 */
} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 0 268 */
struct {
__u32 gf_interface; /* 0 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 4 128 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */
__u32 gf_fmode; /* 132 4 */
__u32 gf_numsrc; /* 136 4 */
struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 140 0 */
} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 0 140 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(1))); /* 0 268 */
/* size: 268, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */
/* forced alignments: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 12 bytes */
} __attribute__((__packed__));
This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().
