GONG, Ruiqi 5bf52e431c netfilter: ebtables: fix fortify warnings in size_entry_mwt()
[ Upstream commit a7ed3465daa240bdf01a5420f64336fee879c09d ]

When compiling with gcc 13 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, the following
warning appears:

In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
    inlined from ‘size_entry_mwt’ at net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:2118:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:592:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
  592 |                         __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The compiler is complaining:

memcpy(&offsets[1], &entry->watchers_offset,
                       sizeof(offsets) - sizeof(offsets[0]));

where memcpy reads beyong &entry->watchers_offset to copy
{watchers,target,next}_offset altogether into offsets[]. Silence the
warning by wrapping these three up via struct_group().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
