The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ocfs2: replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ocfs2-replace-zero-length-arrays-with-declare_flex_array-helper.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ocfs2: replace zero-length arrays with DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2022 00:59:36 +0100

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting C99
flexible-array members, instead.  So, replace zero-length array
declarations in a couple of structures and unions with the new
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro.

This helper allows for a flexible-array member in a union and as only
member in a structure.

Also, this addresses multiple warnings reported when building with
Clang-15 and -Wzero-length-array.

Lastly, this will also help memcpy (in a coming hardening update) execute
proper bounds-checking on variable length object i_symlink at
fs/ocfs2/namei.c:1973:

fs/ocfs2/namei.c:
1973                 memcpy((char *) fe->id2.i_symlink, symname, l);
