The patch below does not apply to the 4.14-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
thanks,

This patch requires a backport of upstream commit:
829ca44ecf60 ("IB/qib: Use struct_size() helper")
That commit needs to me modified to include linux/overflow.h.
The overflow patch then picks clean after that modified patch is present.
How do you want to see that expressed in patches?
Mike
