Subject: cifs: use a flexarray in cifs_writedata
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26c8f0d601f5d4c0d9f4bc8c5151539aae5dc26a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

cifs: use a flexarray in cifs_writedata

The cifs_writedata code uses a single element trailing array, which
just adds unneeded complexity. Use a flexarray instead.
