Hello Alexey,

(sorry last mail just reply to one ..)

Thanks for reminding.

As I told in the commit message, this checking code is just copy from the function pfkey_dump (net/key/af_key.c), which like

	if ((xfilter->sadb_x_filter_splen >=
		(sizeof(xfrm_address_t) << 3)) ||
	    (xfilter->sadb_x_filter_dplen >=
		(sizeof(xfrm_address_t) << 3))) {
		mutex_unlock(&pfk->dump_lock);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

I think the left shift 3 is okay as the actual calculation on those lengths is right shift + left shift (see in addr_match() function).

> Should it be "splen > 8 * sizeof()" ?

Good question. It seems that the filter length is legal to reach the maximum length. So should I send another patch that allows the checking code in pfkey_dump (net/key/af_key.c) to change to > instead of >= ?
