This is from the original code, but now that you are using the
struct_size() macro static checkers will complain about it. (Maybe they
don't yet?). size is a u32. Never save struct_size() returns to
anything except unsigned long or size_t. (ssize_t is also fine, I
suppose). Otherwise, you do not benefit from the integer overflow
checking.
