I think the INT_MAX test is actually better in this case because
nvif_object_ioctl()'s size argument is u32:

ret = nvif_object_ioctl(object, args, sizeof(*args) + size, NULL);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So that could wrap around, even though the allocation may not.

Better yet, since "sizeof(*args) + size" is repeated 3 times in the
function, I'd recommend:

...
u32 args_size;

if (check_add_overflow(sizeof(*args), size, &args_size))
return -ENOMEM;
if (args_size > sizeof(stack)) {
if (!(args = kmalloc(args_size, GFP_KERNEL)))
return -ENOMEM;
} else {
args = (void *)stack;
}
...
ret = nvif_object_ioctl(object, args, args_size, NULL);

This will catch the u32 overflow to nvif_object_ioctl(), catch an
allocation underflow on 32-bits systems, and make the code more
readable. :)
