The blamed commit introduced the concept of split attribute
counting, and later allocating an array to hold them, however
TypeArrayNest wasn't updated to use the new counting variable.
Abbreviated example from tools/net/ynl/generated/nl80211-user.c:
nl80211_if_combination_attributes_parse(...):
unsigned int n_limits = 0;
[...]
ynl_attr_for_each(attr, nlh, yarg->ys->family->hdr_len)
if (type == NL80211_IFACE_COMB_LIMITS)
ynl_attr_for_each_nested(attr2, attr)
dst->_count.limits++;
if (n_limits) {
dst->_count.limits = n_limits;
/* allocate and parse attributes */
}
In the above example n_limits is guaranteed to always be 0,
hence the conditional is unsatisfiable and is optimized out.
This patch changes the attribute counting to use n_limits++ in the
attribute counting loop in the above example.

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 reStructuredText 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.
