<title>net: dccp: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>8402a31dd803e091fd2ec9cd22040b34a0b07085</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>inet_diag: Move the INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE nlattr to cb-&gt;data</title>

<content type='text'>
The INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE nlattr is currently re-found every time when
the "dump()" is re-started.

In a latter patch, it will also need to parse the new
INET_DIAG_REQ_SK_BPF_STORAGES nlattr to learn the map_fds. Thus, this
patch takes this chance to store the parsed nlattr in cb-&gt;data
during the "start" time of a dump.

By doing this, the "bc" argument also becomes unnecessary
and is removed.  Also, the two copies of the INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE
parsing-audit logic between compat/current version can be
consolidated to one.

<title>inet_diag: Refactor inet_sk_diag_fill(), dump(), and dump_one()</title>

<id>5682d393b40e1fe7426a7b8c3471f05262f42010</id>
<content type='text'>
In a latter patch, there is a need to update "cb-&gt;min_dump_alloc"
in inet_sk_diag_fill() as it learns the diffierent bpf_sk_storages
stored in a sk while dumping all sk(s) (e.g. tcp_hashinfo).

The inet_sk_diag_fill() currently does not take the "cb" as an argument.
One of the reason is inet_sk_diag_fill() is used by both dump_one()
and dump() (which belong to the "struct inet_diag_handler".  The dump_one()
interface does not pass the "cb" along.

This patch is to make dump_one() pass a "cb".  The "cb" is created in
inet_diag_cmd_exact().  The "nlh" and "in_skb" are stored in "cb" as
the dump() interface does.  The total number of args in
inet_sk_diag_fill() is also cut from 10 to 7 and
that helps many callers to pass fewer args.

In particular,
"struct user_namespace *user_ns", "u32 pid", and "u32 seq"
can be replaced by accessing "cb-&gt;nlh" and "cb-&gt;skb".

A similar argument reduction is also made to
inet_twsk_diag_fill() and inet_req_diag_fill().

inet_csk_diag_dump() and inet_csk_diag_fill() are also removed.
They are mostly equivalent to inet_sk_diag_fill().  Their repeated
usages are very limited.  Thus, inet_sk_diag_fill() is directly used
in those occasions.

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then

	sed -i  -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file;
