Subject: [PATCH] scsi: eata: drop VLA in reorder()
Date:   Sun, 11 Mar 2018 22:06:58 +0100
Message-Id: <1520802418-17284-1-git-send-email-s.mesoraca16@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

n_ready will always be less than or equal to MAX_MAILBOXES.
So we avoid a VLA[1] and use fixed-length arrays instead.
