[PATCH] net/i40e: Replace 0-length array with flexible array

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 18:46:09 EST


Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct i40e_lump_tracking's
"list" 0-length array with a flexible array. Detected with GCC 13,
using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

In function 'i40e_put_lump',
inlined from 'i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme' at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:5145:2:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:278:27: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of 'u16[0]' {aka 'short unsigned int[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
278 | pile->list[i] = 0;
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h: In function 'i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme':
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h:179:13: note: while referencing 'list'
179 | u16 list[0];
| ^~~~
