Commit df8fc4e934c1 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3") has
resulted in the only arrays that UBSAN_BOUNDS considers unbounded
being trailing arrays declared with [] as the last member of a
struct. Unbounded trailing arrays declared with [1] are common in
mpt3sas, which is causing spurious warnings to appear in some
situations, e.g. when more than one physical disk is connected:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c:6810:36
index 1 is out of range for type 'MPI2_SAS_IO_UNIT0_PHY_DATA [1]'
which relates to this unbounded array access:
port_id = sas_iounit_pg0->PhyData[i].Port;
and is just one example of 10 similar warnings currently occurring for
me during boot.
This series converts most trailing arrays declared with [1] in mptsas
into proper C99 flexible array members. Those that are not unbounded
and really are fixed-length arrays of length 1 are left alone.
I didn't find any conversions that required further source edits
besides changing [1] to [], and everything seems to work with my
SAS2008-based add-in card, but please look things over in case I
missed something subtle.
Rounding out the series are some opportunistic cleanups.
The only dependency is that patch 7 ("Use struct_size() for struct
size calculations") depends on patches 3-5.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
