Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: ioam: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

From: Kees Cook <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2023 14:21:16 -0800

Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct ioam6_trace_hdr's
"data" 0-length array with a flexible array. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

net/ipv6/ioam6_iptunnel.c: In function 'ioam6_build_state':
net/ipv6/ioam6_iptunnel.c:194:37: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of '__u8[0]' {aka 'unsigned char[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
  194 |                 tuninfo->traceh.data[trace->remlen * 4] = IPV6_TLV_PADN;
      |                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
