      arcnet: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member · 5a8b7c4b
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
      extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
      variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
      introduced in C99:
      
      struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
      };
      
      By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
      in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
      will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
      inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
      Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
      this change:
      
      "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
      may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
      zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
      This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

      Merge branch 'net-ethtool-Introduce-link_ksettings-API-for-virtual-network-devices' · de301810
      David S. Miller authored
      Cris Forno says:
      
      ====================
      net/ethtool: Introduce link_ksettings API for virtual network devices
      
      This series provides an API for drivers of virtual network devices that
      allows users to alter initial device speed and duplex settings to reflect
      the actual capabilities of underlying hardware. The changes made include
      a helper function ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings, which is used to
      retrieve alterable link settings. In addition, there is a new ethtool
      function defined to validate those settings. These changes resolve code
      duplication for existing virtual network drivers that have already
      implemented this behavior.  In the case of the ibmveth driver, this API is
      used to provide this capability for the first time.
      
      ---
      v7:  - removed ethtool_validate_cmd function pointer parameter from
            ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings since none of the virtual drivers
            pass in a custom validate function as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
      
      v6:  - removed netvsc_validate_ethtool_ss_cmd(). netvsc_drv now uses
           ethtool_virtdev_validate_cmd() instead as suggested by Michal Kubecek
           and approved by Haiyang Zhang.
      
           - matched handler argument name of ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings
           in declaration and definition as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
      
           - shortened validate variable assignment in
           ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
      
      v5:  - virtdev_validate_link_ksettings is taken out of the ethtool global
           structure and is instead added as an argument to
           ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings as suggested by Jakub Kicinski.
      
      v4:  - Cleaned up return statement in ethtool_virtdev_validate_cmd based
           off of Michal Kubecek's and Thomas Falcon's suggestion.
      
           - If the netvsc driver is using the VF device in order to get
           accelerated networking, the real speed and duplex is reported by using
           the VF device as suggested by Stephen Hemminger.
      
           - The speed and duplex variables are now passed by value rather than
           passed by pointer as suggested by Willem de Bruijin and Michal
           Kubecek.
      
           - Removed ethtool_virtdev_get_link_ksettings since it was too simple
           to warrant a helper function.
      
      v3:  - Factored out duplicated code to core/ethtool to provide API to
           virtual drivers
      
      v2:  - Updated default driver speed/duplex settings to avoid breaking
           existing setups
