When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231129 (experimental) and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, I've noticed the following warning:
...
In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk',
inlined from 'ax88796c_tx_fixup' at drivers/net/ethernet/asix/ax88796c_main.c:287:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:588:25: warning: call to '__read_overflow2_field'
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
588 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
This call to 'memcpy()' is interpreted as an attempt to copy TX_OVERHEAD
(which is 8) bytes from 4-byte 'sop' field of 'struct tx_pkt_info' and
thus overread warning is issued. Since we actually want to copy both
'sop' and 'seg' fields at once, use the convenient 'struct_group()' here.

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.
