Quite a hack. Please add comments with documentation. Also - no way to
avoid hacks?

Not necessarily. For repeated values - I guess.
But this kind of thing:

	#define BUF_SIZE 1024
	int buf_size = BUF_SIZE;

brings no benefit IMHO.

And this has cost - values are now removed from code.

This is actually doing more than what commit log says.

This seems to have zero added value.

This replacement does not buy us anything either.

random on data path is pretty expensive.
I would suggest get an array size from user (and maybe a seed?) and
pregenerate some numbers, then reuse.

Pls come up with a better name. indirect_buf and indirect_buf_size?

But why do we need to do this on each buffer add?
