The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code

calculate the size and offset of variables in an allocated buffer of memory
taking into account alignment issues.

You sent the same patch here, to two different trees (usb and
networking).  That's not good, what happens if they both apply them?
Good point. My mistake.

People in both subsystems needed to see the patch which is why I sent them.

What would have been a better approach? And how can I fix this?
