[PATCH 1/5] mlxsw: Annotate struct mlxsw_linecards with __counted_by

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Sep 29 2023 - 14:07:51 EST


Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct mlxsw_linecards.
