-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Move the conflicting declarations (which in a couple of cases happen
to be in a union, so the entire unions are moved) to the end of the
corresponding structures, struct il_frame, and struct il3945_frame.
Notice that `struct il_tx_beacon_cmd`, `struct il4965_tx_resp`, and
`struct il3945_tx_beacon_cmd` are flexible structures, this is
structures that contain a flexible-array member.
The case for struct il4965_beacon_notif is different. Since this
structure is defined by hardware, we create the new `struct
il4965_tx_resp_hdr` type. We then use this newly created type to
replace the object type causing trouble in struct il4965_beacon_notif,
namely `struct il4965_tx_resp`.
Also, once -fms-extensions is enabled, we can use transparent struct
members in struct il4965_tx_resp.
Notice that the newly created type does not contain the flex-array
member `agg_status`, which is the object causing the -Wfamnae warnings.
This object is currently in a union along with `__le32 status`, so
anything using struct il4965_beacon_notif needs to have its own view
of `status`. To preserve the memory layout, we therefore add member
`__le32 beacon_tx_status` to struct il4965_beacon_notif.
After these changes, the size of struct il4965_beacon_notif along
with its member's offsets remain the same, hence the memory layout
doesn't change:
Before changes:
struct il4965_beacon_notif {
struct il4965_tx_resp beacon_notify_hdr; /* 0 24 */
__le32 low_tsf; /* 24 4 */
__le32 high_tsf; /* 28 4 */
__le32 ibss_mgr_status; /* 32 4 */
/* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 36 bytes */
};
After changes:
struct il4965_beacon_notif {
struct il4965_tx_resp_hdr beacon_notify_hdr; /* 0 20 */
__le32 beacon_tx_status; /* 20 4 */
__le32 low_tsf; /* 24 4 */
__le32 high_tsf; /* 28 4 */
__le32 ibss_mgr_status; /* 32 4 */
/* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
/* last cacheline: 36 bytes */
};
Lastly, adjust the rest of the code, accordingly.
With these changes fix the following warnings:
11 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/common.h:526:11: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
11 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/commands.h:2667:31: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
4 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/3945.h:131:11: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
