Hi Kees,
Yes, the reason that an additional overflow check is performed when 
assigning a pointer type is that no overflow check is provided when 
using u64_to_user_ptr())
I also agree with the explicit overflow check when assigning to pointer 
type variables.
I'll add check_assign_user_ptr() to the new version of the patch and use it.

thanks for checking in detail.
Yes, it is thought that the above-mentioned codes can be modified using 
check_assign(). And it seems that it can be applied as an additional 
patch after check_assign() is applied.

And the code in the form below

if (overflows_type(size, obj->base.size))
		return ERR_PTR(-E2BIG);

It seems that it can be fixed by updating type_max/type_min/__type_half_max.

#define __type_half_max(x) (((typeof(x))1) << (BITS_PER_TYPE(x) - 1 - 
is_signed_type(x)))
#define type_max(x) ((typeof(x))((__type_half_max(x) - 1) + 
__type_half_max(x)))
#define type_min(x) ((typeof(x))((typeof(x))-type_max(x)-(typeof(x))1))

   if (size > type_max(obj->base.size))
	return ERR_PTR(-E2BIG);

And when a type is used as an argument, it is used for comparison with 
the size used internally (not directly exposed outside the data 
structure or accessible through pointer referencing in multiple steps). 
It seems that max_type can be used in these cases as well, but when it 
is used to check before calling a function that actually allocates 
memory using overflows_type(), it seems that readability( or intuitively 
understood)can be good.

And in the alloc_table(), the function calls 
"GEM_BUG_ON(overflows_type(count * PAGE_SIZE, sg->length));", it is a 
case of checking and creating while looping. In this case, 
overflows_type() seems convenient.

In all the confirmed cases by me, it is possible to avoid using 
overflows_type() by changing or modifying the code in a different form.

In all the confirmed cases by me, it is possible to avoid using 
overflows_type() by changing or modifying the code in a different form. 
but there are also codes that can be easily or intuitively understood 
when added, so in my opinion, it would be good to add overflows_type() 
macro.
