[PATCH] net/mlx5: Annotate struct mlx5_flow_handle with __counted_by

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Oct 03 2023 - 19:17:40 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 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 mlx5_flow_handle.
