No need for the parenthesis. Maybe a comment would be helpful here,
something like:

	/*
	 * msg->hdr.size specifies the number of u32 words while sizeof
	 * yields bytes.
	 */

The unit here is also "number of u32 words", maybe bytes is more
natural? And I suggesting specifying the unit in the error message.

Best regards
Uwe
