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. This results in the already inlined memcpy getting unrolled a little more, which very slightly increases 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 Avoids the run-time false-positive warning: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 212) of single field "&ctx->msg" at drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:1133 (size 16) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/20220901065914.1417829-2-keescook@chromium.org/ Cc: "K.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
