In v4, things become even worse, as I need to allocate the bitmap in a
context where I can't return an error. So if it's ok to keep it on the
stack, then that would be great.

Here's the code in question:

size_t br_mst_info_size(const struct net_bridge_vlan_group *vg)
{
const struct net_bridge_vlan *v;
unsigned long *seen;
size_t sz;

seen = bitmap_zalloc(VLAN_N_VID, 0);
if (WARN_ON(!seen))
return 0;

/* IFLA_BRIDGE_MST */
sz = nla_total_size(0);

list_for_each_entry(v, &vg->vlan_list, vlist) {
if (test_bit(v->brvlan->msti, seen))
continue;

/* IFLA_BRIDGE_MST_ENTRY */
sz += nla_total_size(0) +
/* IFLA_BRIDGE_MST_ENTRY_MSTI */
nla_total_size(sizeof(u16)) +
/* IFLA_BRIDGE_MST_ENTRY_STATE */
nla_total_size(sizeof(u8));

__set_bit(v->brvlan->msti, seen);
}

kfree(seen);
return sz;
}
