net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning
The call "skb_copy_from_linear_data(skb, inl + 1, spc)" triggers a FORTIFY memcpy() warning on ppc64 platform: In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’, inlined from ‘skb_copy_from_linear_data’ at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:4029:2, inlined from ‘build_inline_wqe’ at drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_tx.c:722:4, inlined from ‘mlx4_en_xmit’ at drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/en_tx.c:1066:3: ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:513:25: error: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning] 513 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Same behaviour on x86 you can get if you use "__always_inline" instead of "inline" for skb_copy_from_linear_data() in skbuff.h The call here copies data into inlined tx destricptor, which has 104 bytes (MAX_INLINE) space for data payload. In this case "spc" is known in compile-time but the destination is used with hidden knowledge (real structure of destination is different from that the compiler can see). That cause the fortify warning because compiler can check bounds, but the real bounds are different. "spc" can't be bigger than 64 bytes (MLX4_INLINE_ALIGN), so the data can always fit into inlined tx descriptor. The fact that "inl" points into inlined tx descriptor is determined earlier in mlx4_en_xmit(). Avoid confusing the compiler with "inl + 1" constructions to get to past the inl header by introducing a flexible array "data" to the struct so that the compiler can see that we are not dealing with an array of inl structs, but rather, arbitrary data following the structure. There are no changes to the structure layout reported by pahole, and the resulting machine code is actually smaller.
