There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
For this particular case, it is important to notice that the cachelines
change from 7 to 6 after the flexible-array conversion:
$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
u64 nrents; /* 0 8 */
u64 imask; /* 8 8 */
u64 merge; /* 16 8 */
u64 reset; /* 24 8 */
u8 pad_0[96]; /* 32 96 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
u64 head; /* 128 8 */
u8 pad_1[120]; /* 136 120 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
u64 tail; /* 256 8 */
u8 pad_2[120]; /* 264 120 */
/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) --- */
u64 fifobar[1]; /* 384 8 */
/* size: 392, cachelines: 7, members: 10 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
u64 nrents; /* 0 8 */
u64 imask; /* 8 8 */
u64 merge; /* 16 8 */
u64 reset; /* 24 8 */
u8 pad_0[96]; /* 32 96 */
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
u64 head; /* 128 8 */
u8 pad_1[120]; /* 136 120 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
u64 tail; /* 256 8 */
u8 pad_2[120]; /* 264 120 */
/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) --- */
u64 fifobar[]; /* 384 0 */
/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 10 */
};
Lastly, remove unnecessary parentheses in fifo_sz() and fix the following
checkpatch.pl warning for the whole fifo structure:
