Re: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH][next] iavf: Replace one-element array in struct virtchnl_iwarp_qvlist_info and iavf_qvlist_info

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

Hi all,

Friendly ping (after more than a year after I sent this patch :O):

Who can review and/or take this patch, please?

Thanks

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].

Refactor the code according to the use of a flexible-array member in struct
virtchnl_iwarp_qvlist_info and iavf_qvlist_info instead of one-element array,
and use the flex_array_size() helper.
