This will fix the warning, but the function is written such that, if you pass in a size that is greater than the size of a struct sctp_association, but less than a struct sctp_assoc_stats. I'm not sure that a partial stat struct is really that useful to people. What if you were to check for max(struct sctp_association, struct sctp_assoc_stats) as your minimum length check, then just did a copy_from_user of that length. It would save you having to compute two lengths separately, since you could then just do a copy_to_user(...,sizeof(struct sctp_assoc_stats), at the bottom of that function. Thanks!
