tcp: avoid bogus gcc-7 array-bounds warning
When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a false-positive warning: net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect': net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start; ^~ net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old enum value. I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both allmodconfig and randconfig tests.
