-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.
There are currently a couple of objects (`alloc_head` and `bundle`) in
`struct bundle_priv` that contain a couple of flexible structures:
struct bundle_priv {
/* Must be first */
struct bundle_alloc_head alloc_head;
...
/*
* Must be last. bundle ends in a flex array which overlaps
* internal_buffer.
*/
struct uverbs_attr_bundle bundle;
u64 internal_buffer[32];
};
So, in order to avoid ending up with a couple of flexible-array members
in the middle of a struct, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to
separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structures:
struct uverbs_attr_bundle {
struct_group_tagged(uverbs_attr_bundle_hdr, hdr,
... the rest of the members
);
struct uverbs_attr attrs[];
};
With the change described above, we now declare objects of the type of
the tagged struct without embedding flexible arrays in the middle of
another struct:
struct bundle_priv {
/* Must be first */
struct bundle_alloc_head_hdr alloc_head;
...
struct uverbs_attr_bundle_hdr bundle;
u64 internal_buffer[32];
};
We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer
to the flexible structures.
Notice that the `bundle_size` computed in `uapi_compute_bundle_size()`
remains the same.
So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_ioctl.c:45:34: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
45 | struct bundle_alloc_head alloc_head;
| ^~~~~~~~~~
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_ioctl.c:67:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
67 | struct uverbs_attr_bundle bundle;
| ^~~~~~
