static bool
decode_rtnl_link_stats(struct tcb *const tcp,
		       const kernel_ulong_t addr,
		       const unsigned int len,
		       const void *const opaque_data)
{
	struct rtnl_link_stats st;
	const unsigned int sizeof_stat =
		offsetofend(struct rtnl_link_stats, tx_compressed);
	const unsigned int size = len < sizeof(st) ? sizeof_stat : sizeof(st);

	if (len < sizeof(st) && len < sizeof_stat)
		return false;
	else if (!umoven_or_printaddr(tcp, addr, size, &st)) {
		...

#ifdef HAVE_STRUCT_RTNL_LINK_STATS_RX_NOHANDLER
		if (len > sizeof_stat)
			PRINT_FIELD_U(", ", st, rx_nohandler);
#endif
		tprints("}");
	}

	return true;
}

This is ok?
