From: Saurabh Sengar
Date: Wed Aug 16 2023 - 00:35:43 EST


One-element and zero-length arrays are deprecated. Replace one-element
array in struct vmtransfer_page_packet_header with flexible-array
member. This change fixes below warning:

With this change the structure size is reduced by 8 bytes, below is the
pahole output.

struct vmtransfer_page_packet_header {
struct vmpacket_descriptor d; /* 0 16 */
u16 xfer_pageset_id; /* 16 2 */
u8 sender_owns_set; /* 18 1 */
u8 reserved; /* 19 1 */
u32 range_cnt; /* 20 4 */
struct vmtransfer_page_range ranges[]; /* 24 0 */

/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

The validation code in the netvsc driver is affected by changing the
struct size, but the effects have been examined and have been determined
to be appropriate.
