Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: Define vnic_login_client_data name field as unsized
 array

References: bsc#1089198
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc2
Git-commit: 08ea556e14b56e9a49b19abd8e39f0c9e05582f2

The "name" field of struct vnic_login_client_data is a char array of
undefined length. This should be written as "char name[]" so the compiler
can make better decisions about the field (for example, not assuming
it's a single character). This was noticed while trying to tighten the
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE checking.
