Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Split memcpy of flex-array
To work around a misbehavior of the compiler's ability to see into
composite flexible array structs (as detailed in the coming memcpy()
hardening series[1]), split the memcpy() of the header and the payload
so no false positive run-time overflow warning will be generated. As it
turns out, this appears to actually reduce the text size:
$ size drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.o.before drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.o
text data bss dec hex filename
22968 5239 232 28439 6f17 drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.o.before
23032 5239 232 28503 6f57 drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.o
