stddef.h: Introduce sizeof_field() (4229a470) · Commits · e / devices / android_kernel_oneplus_sm7250

The size of fields within a structure is needed in a few places in the kernel already, and will be needed for the usercopy whitelisting when declaring whitelist regions within structures. This creates a dedicated macro and redefines offsetofend() to use it. Existing usage, ignoring the 1200+ lustre assert uses: $ git grep -E 'sizeof$\(\((struct )?[a-zA-Z_]+ \*$0\)->' | \ grep -v staging/lustre | wc -l 65 Signed-off-by:
