You can then add them up, e.g. kmalloc(struct_size()+struct_size(),
GFP_KERNEL), so this patch here still looks like a good idea.

You continue[1][2] sending these sorts of patches without really understanding what
you are doing. And you don't even compile them. Why?

Daniel, what you are talking about is totally wrong.
1) AFAIK, only one zero-size array can be in the end of a struct.
2) two struct_size will add up struct itself twice. the sum is wrong then.
No offense. I can't help feeling lucky that you are in intel.

Yeah, this was over the line, thanks Alex for already taking care of
this. Please note that fd.o mailing lists operate under a CoC:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct/
Wrt the technical comment: I know that you can only do one variable
sized array, and it must be at the end. But you can put multiple
structures all within the same allocation. Which is what I thought you
wanted to do. And my sketch would allow you to do that even if you
have multiple variable length structures you want to allocate. There's
plenty examples of this (but open-coded ones) in the kernel.
Except in really hot paths I personally think that that kind of
trickery isn't worth it.

Seconded. I also enjoy the humiliation of other in email, but it doesn't
helps us getting code written and problems solved in a professional
environment.

BTW: Is there actually good documentation how to correctly do the
variable length array at end of structure thing in the kernel?
I do know that I've seen a lot of different variants like array[]
array[0] or array[1] and I have also seen a bunch of gcc versions
failing to generate correct code for some of them.
So we should probably nail down how to do things correctly.

Well for kmalloc() it's not that much overhead, but with vmalloc that is
a completely different picture.
