Yes.  See the logging I posted:

	==>splice_to_socket() 6630
	udp_sendmsg(8,8)
	__ip_append_data(copy=-1,len=8, mtu=8192 skblen=8189 maxfl=8188)
	pagedlen 9 = 9 - 0
	copy -1 = 9 - 0 - 1 - 9
	length 8 -= -1 + 0

Since datalen and transhdrlen cancel, and fraggap is unsigned, if fraggap is
non-zero, copy will be negative.

It shouldn't be possible for length to exceed msg->msg_iter.count (assuming
there is a msg) coming from userspace; further, userspace can't directly
specify MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.

Good point.  The arrangement of the code is a bit different, but I think it's
substantially the same in this regard.
