The structure is 84 bytes in length, which is not an even multiple of 8.
The reason for this is that the end of the structure are 17 unsigned
ints (blf_map_size + blf_map_data).

The blf_blkno field is int64_t, which on amd64 causes the compiler to
round the the structure size up to the nearest 8-byte boundary, or 88
bytes:

/* <1897d> /storage/home/djwong/cdev/work/linux-xfs/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_log_format.h:477 */
struct xfs_buf_log_format {
        short unsigned int         blf_type;                                             /*     0     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_size;                                             /*     2     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_flags;                                            /*     4     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_len;                                              /*     6     2 */
        /* typedef int64_t -> s64 -> __s64 */ long long int              blf_blkno;      /*     8     8 */
        unsigned int               blf_map_size;                                         /*    16     4 */
        unsigned int               blf_data_map[17];                                     /*    20    68 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */

        /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
        /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

(Same thing with aarch64 and ppc64le gcc.)

i386 gcc doesn't do any of this rounding, so the size is 84 bytes:

/* <182ef> /storage/home/djwong/cdev/work/linux-xfs/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_log_format.h:476 */
struct xfs_buf_log_format {
        short unsigned int         blf_type;                                             /*     0     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_size;                                             /*     2     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_flags;                                            /*     4     2 */
        short unsigned int         blf_len;                                              /*     6     2 */
        /* typedef int64_t -> s64 -> __s64 */ long long int              blf_blkno;      /*     8     8 */
        unsigned int               blf_map_size;                                         /*    16     4 */
        unsigned int               blf_data_map[16];                                     /*    20    64 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 20 bytes ago --- */

        /* size: 84, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
        /* last cacheline: 20 bytes */
};

Since we accidentally write to blf_data_map[17] when invalidating a 68k
buffer, that write will corrupt the slab's redzone, or worse, a live
object packed in right after it.
