From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Sasha Levin Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] virtio-net: Verify page list size before fitting into skb Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 17:40:54 +0300 Message-ID: <1317220855-9352-1-git-send-email-levinsasha928@gmail.com> Cc: Sasha Levin , Rusty Russell , "Michael S. Tsirkin" , virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, kvm@vger.kernel.org To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org This patch verifies that the length of a buffer stored in a linked list of pages is small enough to fit into a skb. If the size is larger than a max size of a skb, it means that we shouldn't go ahead building skbs anyway since we won't be able to send the buffer as the user requested.
