What we really want to check is that size of the engines array, i.e. args->size - sizeof(*user) is divisible by the element size, i.e. sizeof(*user->engines) because that's what's required for computing the array length right below the check. However, we're currently not doing this and instead doing a compile-time check that sizeof(*user) is divisible by sizeof(*user->engines) and avoiding the subtraction. As far as I can tell, the only reason for the more confusing pair of checks is to avoid a single subtraction of a constant. The other thing the BUILD_BUG_ON might be trying to implicitly check is that offsetof(user->engines) == sizeof(*user) and we don't have any weird padding throwing us off. However, that's not the check it's doing and it's not even a reliable way to do that check.

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.
