Sorry for the confusion, I had to add brackets like this:

> Which means, that 32bit task can read more than size of autofs_v5_packet (on 64bit kernel).

IOW, 32bit task expects to read 300 bytes (size of struct autofs_v5_packet) while there are 304 bytes available on the "wire" from the 64bit kernel.
