Subject: [PATCH v7 0/5] skb_to_sgvec hardening

The recent bug with macsec and historical one with virtio have
indicated that letting skb_to_sgvec trounce all over an sglist
without checking the length is probably a bad idea. And it's not
necessary either: an sglist already explicitly marks its last
item, and the initialization functions are diligent in doing so.
Thus there's a clear way of avoiding future overflows.

So, this patchset, from a high level, makes skb_to_sgvec return
a potential error code, and then adjusts all callers to check
for the error code. There are two situations in which skb_to_sgvec
might return such an error:

   1) When the passed in sglist is too small; and
   2) When the passed in skbuff is too deeply nested.

So, the first patch in this series handles the issues with
skb_to_sgvec directly, and the remaining ones then handle the call
sites.

Jason A. Donenfeld (5):
  skbuff: return -EMSGSIZE in skb_to_sgvec to prevent overflow
  ipsec: check return value of skb_to_sgvec always
  rxrpc: check return value of skb_to_sgvec always
  macsec: check return value of skb_to_sgvec always
  virtio_net: check return value of skb_to_sgvec always
