[PATCH][next] bcache: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva

Date: Mon Nov 10 2025 - 05:59:20 EST


-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:

drivers/md/bcache/bset.h:330:27: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) and a
set of MEMBERS that would otherwise follow it.

This overlays the trailing MEMBER struct btree_iter_set stack_data[MAX_BSETS];
onto the FAM struct btree_iter::data[], while keeping the FAM and the start
of MEMBER aligned.

The static_assert() ensures this alignment remains, and it's
intentionally placed inmediately after the corresponding structures --no
blank line in between.
