commitd6e5794b06upstream. GCC seems to incorrectly fail to evaluate skb_ext_total_length() at compile time under certain conditions. The issue even occurs if all values in skb_ext_type_len[] are "0", ruling out the possibility of an actual overflow. As the patch has been in mainline since v6.6 without triggering the problem it seems to be a very uncommon occurrence. As the issue only occurs when -fno-tree-loop-im is specified as part of CFLAGS_GCOV, disable the BUILD_BUG_ON() only when building with coverage reporting enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
