Commit150a04d817("compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macro") used Clang 22.0.0 as a minimum supported version for __counted_by_ptr, which made sense while 22.0.0 was the version of LLVM's main branch to allow developers to easily test and develop uses of __counted_by_ptr in their code. However, __counted_by_ptr requires a change [1] merged towards the end of the 22 development cycle to avoid errors when applied to void pointers. In file included from fs/xfs/xfs_attr_inactive.c:18: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.h:59:2: error: 'counted_by' cannot be applied to a pointer with pointee of unknown size because 'void' is an incomplete type 59 | void *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bufsize); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is disruptive for deployed prerelease clang-22 builds (such as Android LLVM) or when bisecting between llvmorg-21-init and the fix. Require a released version of clang-22 (i.e., 21.1.0 or newer) to enabled __counted_by_ptr to ensure all fixes needed for proper support are present.
