I think you need to use: array_index_nospec()

There is clear_user().

An alternative idea:

#define VHOST_GET_FEATURES_ARRAY(len) _IOC(_IOC_READ, VHOST_VIRTIO,
                                            0x00, (len))

By doing so, the kernel can have share the code for 
VHOST_GET_FEATURES_ARRAY() with VHOST_GET_FEATURES() since 
VHOST_GET_FEATURES() will be just a specialized definition.

It also makes the life of the userspace a bit easier by not making it 
construct struct vhost_features_array.

Looking at include/uapi, it seems there are examples of both your 
pattern and my alternative, so please pick what you prefer.

If you are going to keep struct vhost_features_array, you may want to 
use __counted_by().
