Re: [PATCH v3] mac80211: LLVMLinux: Remove VLAIS usage from mac80211

I'm confused.

This looks fine, though I'd argue the blank lines before/after it
shouldn't be there, and the indentation should be a bit different, but I
was willing to clean that up.

 int ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt(struct crypto_aead *tfm, u8 *b_0, u8 *aad,
 			      u8 *data, size_t data_len, u8 *mic)
 {
 	struct scatterlist assoc, pt, ct[2];
-	struct {
-		struct aead_request	req;
-		u8			priv[crypto_aead_reqsize(tfm)];
-	} aead_req;
 
-	memset(&aead_req, 0, sizeof(aead_req));
+	char aead_req_data[sizeof(struct aead_request) +
+				crypto_aead_reqsize(tfm) +
+				CRYPTO_MINALIGN] CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR;

But why does the second instance use a completely different size/align?
