The hm->h.size is intended to hold the actual size of the hm struct that is copied from userspace and should always be <= sizeof(*hm).
However, after copy_from_user(hm, puhm, hm->h.size), since userspace process has full control over the memory region pointed by puhm, it is possible that the value of hm->h.size is different from what is fetched-in previously (get_user(hm->h.size, (u16 __user *)puhm)). In other words, hm->h.size is overriden and the relation between hm->h.size and the hm struct is broken.
This patch proposes to use a seperate variable, msg_size, to hold the value of the first fetch and override hm->h.size to msg_size after the second fetch to maintain the relation.
