Replace deprecated one-element arrays with flexible array members. CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE reports the following warning when one-element arrays are used as variable-length buffers: sta_cmd.c:1033 mwifiex_sta_prepare_cmd memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 84) of single field "domain->triplet" at .../marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c:1033 (size 3) Convert affected structs to use flexible array members. - Preserve existing wire layouts. - Use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for structs inside affected unions. Tested-on: WRT3200ACM, OpenWrt Signed-off-by: Georgi Valkov <redacted> --- Thank you for your help! Please backport to 6.18 and 6.12, which are used by OpenWrt. v3: - resend, please ignore v2 (corrupted by mail client) v2: - restore the unions and use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY for the flexible arrays inside - restore use of sizeof(*member) instead of sizeof(struct) drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/fw.h | 18 +++++++++--------- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-)
