Kees Cook says:

====================
net: Convert dev_set_mac_address() to struct sockaddr_storage

As part of the effort to allow the compiler to reason about object sizes,
we need to deal with the problematic variably sized struct sockaddr,
which has no internal runtime size tracking. In much of the network
stack the use of struct sockaddr_storage has been adopted. Continue the
transition toward this for more of the internal APIs. Specifically:

- inet_addr_is_any()
- netif_set_mac_address()
- dev_set_mac_address()
- dev_set_mac_address_user()

Only a few callers of dev_set_mac_address() needed adjustment; all others
were already using struct sockaddr_storage internally.

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 reStructuredText 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.
