Alexander Lobakin dd2e84bb38 virtchnl: fix fake 1-elem arrays in structs allocated as nents + 1 - 1
The two most problematic virtchnl structures are virtchnl_rss_key and
virtchnl_rss_lut. Their "flex" arrays have the type of u8, thus, when
allocating / checking, the actual size is calculated as `sizeof +
nents - 1 byte`. But their sizeof() is not 1 byte larger than the size
of such structure with proper flex array, it's two bytes larger due to
the padding. That said, their size is always 1 byte larger unless
there are no tail elements -- then it's +2 bytes.
Add virtchnl_struct_size() macro which will handle this case (and later
other cases as well). Make its calling conv the same as we call
struct_size() to allow it to be drop-in, even though it's unlikely to
become possible to switch to generic API. The macro will calculate a
proper size of a structure with a flex array at the end, so that it
becomes transparent for the compilers, but add the difference from the
old values, so that the real size of sorta-ABI-messages doesn't change.
Use it on the allocation side in IAVF and the receiving side (defined
as static inline in virtchnl.h) for the mentioned two structures.
