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.
