[ Upstream commit8f5d9bed61] This reverts commitbfb4cf9fb9. While the code "looks" correct, the compiler has no way to know that doing "fun" pointer math like this really isn't a write off the end of the structure as there is no hint anywhere that the structure has data at the end of it. This causes the following build warning: In function 'fortify_memset_chk', inlined from 'ctx_fire_notification.isra' at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_context.c:254:3: include/linux/fortify-string.h:480:25: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning] 480 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So revert it for now and it can come back in the future in a "sane" way that either correctly makes the structure know that there is trailing data, OR just the payload structure is properly referenced and zeroed out.
