[ Upstream commit 5960cefab9 ]
Hangbin Liu reported that some sockopt calls could cause the kernel to log
a warning on memory allocation failure if the user supplied a large optlen
value. That is because some of them called memdup_user() without a ceiling
on optlen, allowing it to try to allocate really large buffers.
This patch adds a ceiling by limiting optlen to the maximum allowed that
would still make sense for these sockopt.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
