gcc-11 warns that the TS_SKB_CB(&state)) cast in skb_find_text()
leads to an out-of-bounds access in skb_prepare_seq_read() after
the addition of a new struct member made skb_seq_state longer
than ts_state:

net/core/skbuff.c: In function ‘skb_find_text’:
net/core/skbuff.c:3498:26: error: array subscript ‘struct skb_seq_state[0]’ is partly outside array bounds of ‘struct ts_state[1]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
 3498 |         st->lower_offset = from;
      |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
net/core/skbuff.c:3659:25: note: while referencing ‘state’
 3659 |         struct ts_state state;
      |                         ^~~~~

The warning is currently disabled globally, but I found this
instance during experimental build testing, and it seems
legitimate.

Make the textsearch buffer longer and add a compile-time check to
ensure the two remain the same length.

Fixes: 97550f6fa592 ("net: compound page support in skb_seq_read")

Thanks for addressing this.

A similar fix already landed in 5.12-rc3: commit b228c9b05876 ("net:
expand textsearch ts_state to fit skb_seq_state"). That fix landed in
5.12-rc3.

Ah nice, even the same BUILD_BUG_ON() ;-)

Too bad it had to be found through runtime testing when it could have been
found by the compiler warning.

Indeed :) Sorry that your work ended up essentially reproducing that.

Definitely useful. Had I enabled it, it would have saved me a lot of debug time.
