I know for a fact that we are using the same construct in net/bluetooth/amp.c as well. There have been other places where this was an issue before too (ext4, mac80211, USB gadget, ...). Some have already been fixed.
Hmm. Yeah, I thought we had a patch for bluetooth too. I can't find it now though.
Suffice it to say that similar patches are required for the other instances of this kind of code elsewhere as well.
Thanks Marcel,
