This check "if (inherit->num_qgroups > PAGE_SIZE)" is confusing and unnecessary. The problem with the check is that static checkers flag it as a potential mixup of between units of bytes vs number of elements. Fortunately, the check can safely be deleted because the next check is correct and applies an even stricter limit: if (size != struct_size(inherit, qgroups, inherit->num_qgroups)) return -EINVAL; The "inherit" struct ends in a variable array of __u64 and "inherit->num_qgroups" is the number of elements in the array. At the start of the function we check that: if (size < sizeof(*inherit) || size > PAGE_SIZE) return -EINVAL; Thus, since we verify that the whole struct fits within one page, that means that the number of elements in the inherit->qgroups[] array must be less than PAGE_SIZE.
