How big n can be ?

BTW I could not find where m->msg_controllen was checked in tun_sendmsg().

struct tun_msg_ctl *ctl = m->msg_control;

if (ctl && (ctl->type == TUN_MSG_PTR)) {

     int n = ctl->num;  // can be set to values in [0..65535]

     for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {

         xdp = &((struct xdp_buff *)ctl->ptr)[i];


I really do not understand how we prevent malicious user space from 
crashing the kernel.
