Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==
  The response for a SNMP request can consist of multiple parts,
                which the cmd callback stages into a kernel buffer until all
                parts have been received. If the callback detects that the
                staging buffer provides insufficient space, it bails out with
                error.
                This processing is buggy for the first part of the response -
                while it initially checks for a length of 'data_len', it later
                copies an additional amount of
                'offsetof(struct qeth_snmp_cmd, data)' bytes.

  
  == Fix ==
  9a764c1e5968 ("s390/qeth: fix length check in SNMP processing")

  == Regression Potential ==
  Low.  Changes limited to s390.

  == Test Case ==
  A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug 
reporter.
  The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.


  
  == Original bug description ==

  Description:  qeth: fix length check in SNMP processing
  Symptom:      Undefined behaviour.
  Problem:      The response for a SNMP request can consist of multiple parts,
                which the cmd callback stages into a kernel buffer until all
                parts have been received. If the callback detects that the
                staging buffer provides insufficient space, it bails out with
                error.
                This processing is buggy for the first part of the response -
                while it initially checks for a length of 'data_len', it later
                copies an additional amount of
                'offsetof(struct qeth_snmp_cmd, data)' bytes.
  Solution:     Fix the calculation of 'data_len' for the first part of the
                response.

  Should be applied to all Ubuntu Releases in Service
