Memory for 'struct omfs_extent' and a 'e_extent_count' number of extent
entries is indirectly allocated through 'bh->b_data', which is a pointer
to data within the page. This implies that the member 'e_entry'
(which is the start of extent entries) functions more like an array than
a single object of type 'struct omfs_extent_entry'.
So we better turn this object into a proper array, in this case a
flexible-array member, and with that, fix the following
-Wstringop-overflow warning seen after building s390 architecture with
allyesconfig (GCC 13):
fs/omfs/file.c: In function 'omfs_grow_extent':

| ^~~~~~~
There are some binary differences before and after changes, but this are
expected due to the change in the size of 'struct omfs_extent' and the
necessary adjusments.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Wstringop-overflow.

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.
