Okay, I think I see the flexible array, it comes from the struct tty_buffer {
union {
struct tty_buffer *next;
struct llist_node free;
};
unsigned int used;
unsigned int size;
unsigned int commit;
unsigned int lookahead; /* Lazy update on recv, can become less than "read" */
unsigned int read;
bool flags;
/* Data points here */
u8 data[] __aligned(sizeof(unsigned long));
};
struct tty_bufhead {
struct tty_buffer *head; /* Queue head */
struct work_struct work;
struct mutex lock;
atomic_t priority;
struct tty_buffer sentinel;
struct llist_head free; /* Free queue head */
atomic_t mem_used; /* In-use buffers excluding free list */
int mem_limit;
struct tty_buffer *tail; /* Active buffer */
};
struct tty_port {

?!?! Who wrote this atrocity? The only thing I can imagine that it's doing is treating the rest of I'm not sure what to do in this situation. Obviously a flexible array isn't valid in the middle of a struct, so maybe the check should only check for a flexible array that happens at the end of the struct? |

Work for __counted_by on generic pointers in structures (not just flexible array members) has started landing in Clang 19 (current tip of tree).
