Subject: [ 28/56] macvtap: zerocopy: validate vectors before building skb

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

commit b92946e2919134ebe2a4083e4302236295ea2a73 upstream.

There're several reasons that the vectors need to be validated:

- Return error when caller provides vectors whose num is greater than UIO_MAXIOV.
- Linearize part of skb when userspace provides vectors grater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
- Return error when userspace provides vectors whose total length may exceed
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS * PAGE_SIZE.
