While the code there is right, it produces three false positives: drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2868 video_usercopy() error: copy_from_user() 'parg' too small (128 vs 16383) drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2868 video_usercopy() error: copy_from_user() 'parg' too small (128 vs 16383) drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2876 video_usercopy() error: memset() 'parg' too small (128 vs 16383) Store the ioctl size on a cache var, in order to suppress those.
