-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it, globally. So, in this particular case, we create a new `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe_hdr` to enclose the header part of flexible structure `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe`. This is, all the members except the flexible arrays `inline_mtts`, `inline_klms` and `inline_ksms` in the anonymous union. We then replace the header part with `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe_hdr hdr;` in `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe`, and change the type of the object currently causing trouble `umr_wqe` from `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe` to `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe_hdr` --this last bit gets rid of the flex-array-in-the-middle part and avoid the warnings. Also, no new members should be added to `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe`, instead any new members must be included in the header structure `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe_hdr`. To enforce this, we use `static_assert()`, ensuring that the memory layout of both the flexible structure and the newly created header struct remain consistent. The next step is to refactor the rest of the related code accordingly, which means adding a bunch of `hdr.` wherever needed. Lastly, we use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure `struct mlx5e_umr_wqe`. So, with these changes, fix 125 of the following warnings: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en.h:664:48: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

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.
