1. Yes, this should be mode_t, i think i referred the wrong source defined this, which confused me that point. 
2. The specify the rest of padding and unused is a practical concern. I once defined without those fields and i encountered several segfault when I tested this data structure in my local linux device. Then I found the implementation in linux for this is: 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.19.3/source/include/uapi/asm-generic/ipcbuf.h#L22
also the glibc defined this the same way:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/glibc-2.42.9000/source/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/ipc-perm.h#L28
the old definition for this: 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.19/source/include/uapi/linux/ipc.h#L10 
are marked as obsolete
