Subject: [ 21/56] batman-adv: bat_socket_read missing checks

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

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


From: Paul Kot <pawlkt@...il.com>

commit c00b6856fc642b234895cfabd15b289e76726430 upstream.

Writing a icmp_packet_rr and then reading icmp_packet can lead to kernel
memory corruption, if __user *buf is just below TASK_SIZE.
