That's really quite unpleasant syntax. Is it not possible to have mem_to_flex_dup() and friends work without that?

Either do: acl = mem_to_flex_dup(buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!acl) or: acl = mem_to_flex_dup(buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (IS_ERR(acl)) Please especially don't make it that an apparent 'true' return indicates an error. If you absolutely must return the acl pointer through the argument list (presumably because it's actually a macro), make it return false on failure: if (!mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL)) or return and explicitly check for an error code: if (mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) or: ret = mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); if (ret < 0) (or use != 0 rather than < 0) David

Other threads discussed this too. I'm hoping to have something more flexible (pardon the pun) in v2. > [...] > or: > > ret = mem_to_flex_dup(&acl, buffer, size, GFP_KERNEL); > if (ret < 0) > > (or use != 0 rather than < 0) Sure, I can make the tests more explicit. The kerndoc, etc all shows it's using < 0 for errors.

As part of the work to perform bounds checking on all memcpy() uses, replace the open-coded a deserialization of bytes out of memory into a trailing flexible array by using a flex_array.h helper to perform the allocation, bounds checking, and copying.
