patch 'common/sfc_efx/base: use C11 static assert' has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/11/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/82aea5d9b46d7bb62c4b18e9a91033a1583287ea

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] common/sfc_efx/base: use C11 static assert
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit 047d7032b76a226f2f1c36775688950933f9121b ]

The sfc base code had its own definition of static assertions
using the out of bound array access hack. Replace it with a
static_assert like rte_common.h.

The use of null pointer to compute offset is not always a constant
in older versions of clang. Use standard offsetof() instead.

Fixes: f67e4719147d ("net/sfc/base: fix coding style")
