You could do that too.
You pointed this out in your other email but the one thing that people
have to be careful of when assigning struct_size() is that the
"mux_size" variable has to be size_t.
The math in submit_create() from drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_submit.c
is so terribly unreadable. It works but it's so ugly. Unfortunately,
I'm the person who wrote it.
