Yay we found a bug! Thanks Gustavo :)

union srp_iu {
     struct srp_login_req login_req;
     struct srp_login_rsp login_rsp;
     struct srp_login_rej login_rej;
     struct srp_i_logout i_logout;
     struct srp_t_logout t_logout;
     struct srp_tsk_mgmt tsk_mgmt;
     struct srp_cmd cmd;
     struct srp_rsp rsp;
     uint8_t reserved[SRP_MAX_IU_LEN];
};

It's variable-sized but it's okay as long as the total size doesn't
exceed SRP_MAX_IU_LEN.  So it's not a bug, but I agree it's a time bomb.
  Moving the field last should work, but it would still be quite
dangerous code.

Yeah I reached the same conclusion.

I'll send a fix for the dangerous code.
Do you want to drop this series, or only the change in 'struct srp_rsp' (or in all hw/scsi/srp.h). Actually I guess it makes sense I move the 'hw/scsi/srp.h' changes with the series cleaning dangerous code.
