In ip_vs_sync_conn_v0() copy is made to struct ip_vs_sync_conn_options. That structure looks like this: struct ip_vs_sync_conn_options { struct ip_vs_seq in_seq; struct ip_vs_seq out_seq; }; The source of the copy is the in_seq field of struct ip_vs_conn. Whose type is struct ip_vs_seq. Thus we can see that the source - is not as wide as the amount of data copied, which is the width of struct ip_vs_sync_conn_option. The copy is safe because the next field in is another struct ip_vs_seq. Make use of struct_group() to annotate this.
