Ah, I see now: https://lore.kernel.org/mm-commits/20210814215814.W_qqW%25akpm@linux-foundation.org/T/#u Looks like I just happened to pick the wrong linux-next. ;) Thanks for the fix-up!

GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values). Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of __builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values). Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication), it complains about these call sites may overflow (since SIZE_MAX is greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at run-time (this was an intentional design). Instead, just disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang does not have this warning option.)
