Yes, it should.  Acked-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@...radead.org>

If you like, you could do a follow-up patch mentioning the use
of struct_size(), array_size() and array3_size().  I think this
document is the right place for those.  Their kernel-doc is included in
driver-api/basics.rst, but referencing those functions in this document
would draw peoples' attention to them.
