If I understand correctly this check is added to verify if we are left with
trans_hdr size of data. In that case '>' comparison operator should be used.

That was there in the original code and I thought about changing it but
I don't like changing things which aren't necessary and == is also
invalid so I decided to leave it.

I see, I understand your concern about not changing unnecessary things but '>=' is incorrect for reason mentioned above. We need to change that to '>'

   			ret = -EINVAL;
   			break;
   		}
   		trans_hdr = (struct qaic_manage_trans_hdr *)(user_msg->data + user_len);
-		if (user_len + trans_hdr->len > user_msg->len) {
+		if (trans_hdr->len < sizeof(trans_hdr) ||
+		    size_add(user_len, trans_hdr->len) > user_msg->len) {

If we change to > then the == will be caught by this check.  So it
doesn't affect runtime either way.

I fail to see that.

Lets run an example:
user_len is 0
user_msg->len is 8
sizeof(*trans_hdr) is 8
trans_hdr->len is 8

Above instance is correct and should be processed without error.

So user_len > user_msg->len - sizeof(*trans_hdr) translates to
(0 > 8 - 8)
(0 > 0)
false (No error)
.
.
.
trans_hdr->len < sizeof(trans_hdr) ||
size_add(user_len, trans_hdr->len) > user_msg->len, translates to
8 < 8 || size_add(0, 8) > 8
false || 8 > 8
false || false
false (No error)

Am I missing anything?
