Are you asking if I can add "passed to sock_kmalloc()" to the report?
It's possible but it's kind of a headache the way this code is written.

When you pass a function to another function in Smatch:

	frob(size_add());

Then Smatch creates a fake assignment:  "frob(fake_assign = size_add());"
and parses that instead.  So this check only looks at the
"fake_assign = size_add();"  assignment.

Attached.
