To increase test coverage for potential problems without breaking anything, introduce __counted_by_{le,be} defined depending on platform's Endianness to either __counted_by() when applicable or noop otherwise. The first user will be virtchnl2.h from idpf just as example with 9 flex structures having Little Endian counters. Maybe it would be a good idea to introduce such attributes on compiler level if possible, but for now let's stop on what we have. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240327142241.1745989-1-aleksander.lobakin@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- af352c3b666e2ab74be5db9f168960d8ad48b538
