[PATCH] selftests: iommu: fix Warray-bounds in get_hw_info test
From: Kathara Sasikumar
Date: Wed Dec 10 2025 - 16:27:47 EST
The get_hw_info uses a smaller user buffer on purpose to check how
the kernel updates only the fields that fit in the buffer. The test
created a custom smaller struct for this, but the helper function later
treats the buffer as struct iommu_test_hw_info. This makes the compiler
warn about a possible out-of-bounds access (-Warray-bounds).
This keeps the test behavior the same and removes the warning.
