Subject: [PATCH] enic: Avoid false positive under FORTIFY_SOURCE
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 15:30:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240216233004.work.012-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

FORTIFY_SOURCE has been ignoring 0-sized destinations while the kernel
code base has been converted to flexible arrays. In order to enforce
the 0-sized destinations (e.g. with __counted_by), the remaining 0-sized
destinations need to be handled. Unfortunately, struct vic_provinfo
resists full conversion, as it contains a flexible array of flexible
arrays, which is only possible with the 0-sized fake flexible array.

Use unsafe_memcpy() to avoid future false positives under
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
