The truesize of fragments in a reassembly queue is only bounded by
the per netns ipfrag_high_thresh sysctl, which has no upper limit.

inet_frag_reasm_finish() sums the truesize of all fragments in an int.
If this sum reaches 2^32, it wraps, and the final sk_wmem_alloc
adjustment of the socket owning the reassembled skb can cancel its own
reference, leading to a use-after-free of this socket.

This can be triggered from an unprivileged user/network namespace,
raising ipfrag_high_thresh and using padded TUN packets, which keep
a large truesize after being trimmed by ip_rcv_core().

Track the sum of the truesize of fragments in each queue, and refuse
a fragment that would make it bigger than INT_MAX / 2. Callers kill
the queue on this error. This bound is far above the needs of
legitimate traffic.

v2: reset q->truesize in inet_frag_queue_flush(), as ip_frag_reinit()
    can keep a queue alive after flushing its fragments (Wang Zhan, Sashiko).
    Document @truesize in struct inet_frag_queue kernel-doc (Sashiko).
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261028182934.2236310-1-edumazet@kernel.org/

Kyle Zeng provided a more complicated patch, I wrote something much simpler.
LLM was used to discover the bug, build a repro, and test the fix.
