[PATCH v2 02/12] scsi: mpt3sas: Make MPI2_CONFIG_PAGE_IO_UNIT_8::Sensor[] a flexible array

From: James Seo
Date: Sun Aug 06 2023 - 13:07:35 EST


This terminal 1-length variable array can be directly converted into
a C99 flexible array member.

As all users of MPI2_CONFIG_PAGE_IO_UNIT_8 (Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t) do not
use Sensor[], no further source changes are required to accommodate
its reduced sizeof():

- mpt3sas_config.c:mpt3sas_config_get_iounit_pg8() fetches a
Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t into a caller-provided buffer, assuming
sizeof(Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t) as the buffer size. It has one caller:

- mpt3sas_base.c:_base_static_config_pages() passes the address of
the Mpi2IOUnitPage8_t iounit_pg8 member of the per-adapter struct
(struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc) as the buffer. The assumed buffer
size is therefore correct.

However, the only subsequent use in mpt3sas of the thus populated
ioc->iounit_pg8 is a little further on in the same function, and
this use does not involve ioc->iounit_pg8.Sensor[].

Note that iounit_pg8 occurs in the middle of the per-adapter
struct, not at the end. The per-adapter struct is extensively
used throughout mpt3sas even if its iounit_pg8 member isn't,
resulting in an especially large amount of noise when comparing
binary changes attributable to this commit.
