[PATCH v2][next] scsi: smartpqi: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 11:57:26 EST


One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct report_log_lun_list.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

Changes in v2:
In v1 we thought that the original code was allocating one too-many
entries for the list. However, Don Brance commented that the allocation
was actually intentional[1]. So, I added a code comment with his feedback.
