While I agree that it might be not the best of programming patterns to
accept length of a local stack buffer from the parent function (this
can easily be misused over time), there's probably no bug here, as all
callers of __tun_chr_ioctl() use sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct
compat_ifreq)) which is presumably shorter than the former one, no?
Or, maybe I'm missing something?
