Subject: Re: [PATCH] SUNRPC: check mlen in ip_map_parse()

There is no need.  This function is only called from cache_do_downcall()
and that function already checks for zero.

That function is only called from cache_downcall() which checks the
size_t count is not >= 32768 so the fact that it is cast to an int for
the ->cache_parse function cannot cause and overflow.

I wouldn't object to ->cache_parse() and qword_get() and maybe others
having their len parameter changed from int to size_t.  
But adding this extra test on mlen add no value.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
