I don't really like this solution.
struct knfsd_fh has a fixed size determined by NFS4_FHSIZE.
The fact that fh_fsid is "flexible" doesn't mean it is unlimited in
size. So moving it to the end of other structures is silencing a
warning but leaving the code as potentially confusing.
Maybe just make it
u32 fh_fsid[4]; /* in practice the size varies but is always
* limited by fh_raw above
*/
There are places was [0] [1] and [2] are explictly indexed, so size
needs to be atleast 3 else we invite warnings. But maybe other memcpy
etc will trigger warnings anyway??
Maybe
u32 fh_fsid[NFS4_FHSIZE/4-1];
That will always fit in the available space and we never use anywhere
close to that size.
I'd really rather use [] and have some way to tell the compiler that we
have the size under control and it doesn't need to worry.
