Current wrapper is right-sized to the message being transferred; however, this is smaller than the structure defining message wrappers since the trailing element is a union of message/transfer headers of various sizes (8 and 32 bytes on 32-bit system where issue was reported). Using the smaller header with a small message (wire_trans_dma_xfer is 24 bytes including header) ends up being smaller than a wrapper with the larger header. There are no accesses outside of the defined size, however they are possible if the larger union member is referenced. Abort messages are outside of hot-path and changing the wrapper struct would require a larger rewrite, so having the memory allocated to the message be 8 bytes too big is acceptable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
