Subject: [PATCH -mm 3/7][AIO] - Fix access_ok() checks


From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@...l.net>

                   Fix access_ok() checks in sys_io_submit() and 
                            compat_sys_io_submit()


  sys_io_submit() and compat_sys_io_submit() check for the number of
requests (nr) being positive, but the following access_ok() call uses
nr * sizeof(ptr) which can overlow to a negative number.

  Just make sure that nr * sizeof(ptr) is positive in the first place.
