If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "J. Bruce Fields" commit 64a817cfbded8674f345d1117b117f942a351a69 upstream. Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative" length can get through here. The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an excessive size.
