Subject: [PATCH 3.10 06/54] AIO: properly check iovec sizes

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

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

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

In Linus's tree, the iovec code has been reworked massively, but in
older kernels the AIO layer should be checking this before passing the
request on to other layers.

Many thanks to Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero for pointing out the
issue.
