OK, guys, that's even worse. The 12 and 13 don't fire the warning
because Warray-bounds is explicitly disabled for gcc-11+. Check
0da6e5fd6c372 ("gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-13 too"). I'll
test how gcc-10 builds it, and if it's broken too, it's worth to shift
the threshold in init/Kconfig.

Let me check it later today.

I'll not take the code unless there are real kernel users for it. Your
compressor is still under development AFAIK, so I'm going to pull
bitmap_read/write with ip_tunnel series, if it comes first.

Yes, that's what I asked him to do. But let's put it on hold while I'm
testing different compilers.

Thanks,
