Commit ed98ea2128b6 ("audit: replace zero-length array with flexible-array member"), however, as I said earlier, the problem was actually with SWIG, it just happened to be triggered by the kernel commit. There was a brief fedora-devel mail thread about the problem, see the link below: * https://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-devel/msg297991.html To reiterate, I'm supportive of changes like this, but I would like to hear how it was tested to ensure there are no unexpected problems with userspace. If there are userspace problems it doesn't mean we can't make changes like this, it just means we need to ensure that the userspace issues are resolved first.

Well, as this is the first and only report of any problems with [0] -> [] conversions (in UAPI or anywhere) that I remember seeing, and they've been underway since at least v5.9, I hadn't been doing any new testing. So, for this case, I guess I should ask what tests you think would be meaningful here? Anything using #include should be fine: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=linux%2Fxfrm.h&literal=1&perpkg=1 Which leaves just this, which may be doing something weird: libabigail_2.0-1/tests/data/test-diff-filter/test-PR27569-v0.abi </data-member> <data-member access="public" layout-offset-in-bits="128"> <var-decl name="seq_hi" type-id="3f1a6b60" visibility="default" filepath="include/uapi/linux/xfrm.h" line="97" column="1"/> </data-member> <data-member access="public" layout-offset-in-bits="160"> But I see that SWIG doesn't show up in a search for linux/audit.h: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=linux%2Faudit.h&literal=1&perpkg=1 So this may not be a sufficient analysis...

I think from a practical perspective ensuring that the major IPsec/IKE tools, e.g. the various *SWANs, that know about labeled IPSec still build and can set/get the SA/SPD labels correctly would be sufficient. I seriously doubt there would be any problems, but who knows.

There are certainly some cases in which the transformation of zero-length arrays into flexible-array members can bring some issues to the surface[1][2]. This is the first time that we know of one of them in user-space. However, we haven't transformed the arrays in UAPI yet (with the exception of a couple of cases[3][4]). But that is something that we are planning to try soon[5]. -- Gustavo [1] https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues?q=invalid+use+of+flexible+array [2] https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues?q=invalid+application+of+%E2%80%98sizeof%E2%80%99+to+incomplete+type [3] https://git.kernel.org/linus/db243b796439c0caba47865564d8acd18a301d18 [4] https://git.kernel.org/linus/d6cdad870358128c1e753e6258e295ab8a5a2429 [5] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next/kspp-fam0-uapi
