Won't it be clearer as:
offsetof(struct blkif_request, u.rw.id) != offsetof(struct blkif_request, u.indirect.id)
We don't really care about the specific offset value, but both layouts
must match.
Also, you likely want to check for all requests types, not just rw and
indirect (discard and other).

Parentheses here are unneeded. If we do that move, we might as well
move the assignation of pages[i]->gref as well, just to avoid
assigning to gref to take the failure path.
I do think however wraparound is not an issue here, as we will discard
the result.
Thanks, Roger.
