ethtool: Document the general convention for VLAs in kernel space Various ethtool command structures are declared with zero-length array at the end which are intended to be variable-length in userland (relying on lack of compiler bounds checking). However, in the kernel the structure and array are always allocated and passed to driver operations separately. Make that explicit.
