OK, I'm fine with putting them all back.

For another issue, what about code like the following:

if (copy_from_user(&u_cmd, arg, sizeof(u_cmd)))
return -EFAULT;

if ((u_cmd.outsize > EC_MAX_MSG_BYTES) ||
(u_cmd.insize > EC_MAX_MSG_BYTES))
return -EINVAL;

s_cmd = kmalloc(sizeof(*s_cmd) + max(u_cmd.outsize, u_cmd.insize),
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!s_cmd)
return -ENOMEM;

if (copy_from_user(s_cmd, arg, sizeof(*s_cmd) + u_cmd.outsize)) {
ret = -EFAULT;
goto exit;
}

It doesn't actually test sizeof(*s_cmd) + u_cmd.outsize, but it does test
u_cmd.outsize > EC_MAX_MSG_BYTES, and presumably that test accounts for
the extra sizeof(*s_cmd) value.
