Merge branch 'compiler_types-add-endianness-dependent-__counted_by_-le-be'
Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== compiler_types: add Endianness-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} Some structures contain flexible arrays at the end and the counter for them, but the counter has explicit Endianness and thus __counted_by() can't be used directly. To increase test coverage for potential problems without breaking anything, introduce __counted_by_{le,be} defined depending on platform's Endianness to either __counted_by() when applicable or noop otherwise. The first user will be virtchnl2.h from idpf just as example with 9 flex structures having Little Endian counters. Maybe it would be a good idea to introduce such attributes on compiler level if possible, but for now let's stop on what we have. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240327142241.1745989-1-aleksander.lobakin@intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
