Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.
Address the following warning found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
net/ipv6/exthdrs.c: In function ‘fl6_update_dst’:
net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1393:28: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of ‘struct in6_addr[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
1393 | fl6->daddr = *((struct rt0_hdr *)opt->srcrt)->addr;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ./include/linux/ipv6.h:5,
from ./include/linux/icmpv6.h:6,
from net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:27:
./include/uapi/linux/ipv6.h:84:33: note: while referencing ‘addr’
84 | struct in6_addr addr[0];

net/ipv6/exthdrs.c: In function ‘ipv6_push_rthdr0.isra’:
net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1125:19: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of ‘struct in6_addr[0]’ [-Warray-bounds=]
1125 | phdr->addr[hops - 1] = **addr_p;
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~
./include/uapi/linux/ipv6.h:84:33: note: while referencing ‘addr’
84 | struct in6_addr addr[0];

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].

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.
