Subject: [PATCH] virt: vbox: struct vmmdev_hgcm_pagelist: Replace 1-element array with flexible array
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 16:15:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240710231555.work.406-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

Replace the deprecated[1] use of a 1-element array in
struct vmmdev_hgcm_pagelist with a modern flexible array. As this is
UAPI, we cannot trivially change the size of the struct, so use a union
to retain the old first element's size, but switch "pages" to a flexible
array.

No binary differences are present after this conversion.
