commit b92946e2919134ebe2a4083e4302236295ea2a73 upstream.
There're several reasons that the vectors need to be validated:
- Return error when caller provides vectors whose num is greater than
UIO_MAXIOV.
- Linearize part of skb when userspace provides vectors grater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
- Return error when userspace provides vectors whose total length may exceed
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS * PAGE_SIZE.
