It seems that my Coccinelle script got confused by this: p54_convert_output_limits(): priv->output_limit = kmalloc(data[1] * sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit) + sizeof(*priv->output_limit), GFP_KERNEL); ... priv->output_limit->entry_size = sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit); priv->output_limit->len = priv->output_limit->entry_size * priv->output_limit->entries + priv->output_limit->offset; It thought "sizeof(struct pda_channel_output_limit)" was the element count, since it wasn't able to identify the array member here. Regardless, I've sent a v2 now. :) -- Kees Cook
