I have a new patch reverting part of the changes done in 22643ce4014a:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/95376/

In this context I want to check regarding the above change again: should we
be setting buf->size above to the allocated size or to the requested size,
in case the two are different? Currently the code (even after the new
patch) is setting it to the allocated size which might be >= the requested
size. Thanks.
