Gustavo already tried to fix those back in 2021[0][1]. Unfortunately,
a VM can run a different kernel than the host, meaning that those
structures are sorta ABI.
However, it is possible to have proper flex arrays + struct_size()
calculations and still send the very same messages with the same sizes.
The common rule is:
elem[1] -> elem[]
size = struct_size() + <difference between the old and the new msg size>
The "old" size in the current code is calculated 3 different ways for
10 virtchnl structures total. Each commit addresses one of the ways
cumulatively instead of per-structure.
I was planning to send it to -net initially, but given that virtchnl was
renamed from i40evf and got some fat style cleanup commits in the past,
it's not very straightforward to even pick appropriate SHAs, not
speaking of automatic portability. I may send manual backports for
a couple of the latest supported kernels later on if anyone needs it
at all.
