	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]. This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle: (linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch) @@ identifier S, member, array; type T1, T2; @@ struct S { ... T1 member; T2 array[ - 0 ]; }; -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes to prevent issues like these in the short future: ../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0, but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source] strcpy(de3->name, "."); ^ Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

2019-06-15	net: sched: remove NET_CLS_IND config option	Jiri Pirko
	This config option makes only couple of lines optional. Two small helpers and an int in couple of cls structs. Remove the config option and always compile this in. This saves the user from unexpected surprises when he adds a filter with ingress device match which is silently ignored in case the config option is not set.

2018-11-09	tools/bpftool: copy a few net uapi headers to tools directory	Yonghong Song
	Commit f6f3bac08ff9 ("tools/bpf: bpftool: add net support") added certain networking support to bpftool. The implementation relies on a relatively recent uapi header file linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h on the host which contains the marco definition of TCA_ACT_BPF_ID. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all distributions. See the email message below where rhel-7.2 does not have an up-to-date linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h. https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1799211.html Further investigation found that linux/pkt_cls.h is also needed for macro TCA_BPF_TAG. This patch fixed the issue by copying linux/tc_act/tc_bpf.h and linux/pkt_cls.h from kernel include/uapi directory to tools/include/uapi directory so building the bpftool does not depend on host system for these files.
