David S. Miller e2598dbd21 Merge branch 'sctp-nested-flex-arrays'
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.

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.
