synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the error code as a valid size instead. Do the test before assignment to field->size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
