It looks a bit non-consistent that memcpy() copies text_buf_size but valid data
are defined by text_len.
I would prefer to be on the safe size and copy only text_len.
I could imagine some later optimization that will make buf_size bigger
by alignment or something like that. The reason might be preparation
for continuous lines or so. Then the size of the original buffer and
the destination one might differ.
It is unrelated to this patch. I would solve it by a preparation
or followup one.

Same here.

This will be easy to miss when a new field is added in the future.
I would prefer to store @seq into temporary variable and clear
the entire structure by memset(). The new sequence number is
calculated few lines below anyway.
Otherwise, it looks good to me.
