md/linear: Get rid of md-linear.h

2024-02-05T23:32:30Z

Given that 849d18e27be9 ("md: Remove deprecated CONFIG_MD_LINEAR") killed the linear flavour of MD, it seems only logical to drop the leftover include file that used to come with it. I also feel that it should be my own privilege to remove my 30 year old attempt at writing kernel code ;-). RIP!

md/md-linear: Annotate struct linear_conf with __counted_by

2023-09-22T18:23:01Z

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct linear_conf. Additionally, since the element count member must be set before accessing the annotated flexible array member, move its initialization earlier.

md/raid1: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-13T19:02:23Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

md: rename some drivers/md/ files to have an "md-" prefix

2017-10-17T02:06:36Z

Motivated by the desire to illiminate the imprecise nature of DM-specific patches being unnecessarily sent to both the MD maintainer and mailing-list. Which is born out of the fact that DM files also reside in drivers/md/ Now all MD-specific files in drivers/md/ start with either "raid" or "md-" and the MAINTAINERS file has been updated accordingly.
