[PATCH] ceph: use a flexible array for monitor addresses
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 20:20:12 EST
ceph_alloc_options() allocates the monitor address array separately,
always sized for CEPH_MAX_MON entries. Make it a flexible array member
at the end of struct ceph_options and allocate both together with
kzalloc_flex(). The array was already an 8 KiB slab object, so this
only drops the separate allocation and its error path.
num_mon is the number of addresses in use, not the capacity, so the
array cannot be annotated with __counted_by().
ceph_compare_options() memcmp()s the simple fields up to the first
member that needs a custom comparison. With mon_addr gone from there,
use num_mon as that boundary; the compared fields are unchanged.
Document that num_mon has to stay first past that point.
