Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: fix a plenty of flexible-array-nested warnings Paolo noticed a compile warning in SCTP, ../net/sctp/stream_sched_fc.c: note: in included file (through ../include/net/sctp/sctp.h): ../include/net/sctp/structs.h:335:41: warning: array of flexible structures But not only this, there are actually quite a lot of such warnings in some SCTP structs. This patchset fixes most of warnings by deleting these nested flexible array members. After this patchset, there are still some warnings left: # make C=2 CF="-Wflexible-array-nested" M=./net/sctp/ ./include/net/sctp/structs.h:1145:41: warning: nested flexible array ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:641:34: warning: nested flexible array ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:643:34: warning: nested flexible array ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:644:33: warning: nested flexible array ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:650:40: warning: nested flexible array ./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:653:39: warning: nested flexible array the 1st is caused by __data[] in struct ip_options, not in SCTP; the others are in uapi, and we should not touch them. Note that instead of completely deleting it, we just leave it as a comment in the struct, signalling to the reader that we do expect such variable parameters over there, as Marcelo suggested. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
