Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/hfi1: use a struct group to avoid warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

On gcc-11 and earlier, the driver sometimes produces a warning
for memset:

In file included from include/linux/string.h:392,
                 from drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/mad.c:6:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
    inlined from '__subn_get_opa_hfi1_cong_log' at drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/mad.c:3873:2,
    inlined from 'subn_get_opa_sma' at drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/mad.c:4114:9:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:480:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror]
    __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This seems to be a false positive, and I found no nice way to rewrite
the code to avoid the warning, but adding a a struct group works.
