You can check commit 04bcef2a83f40c ("ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl arguments") for more info. Still, check can be reduced to if (len > MAX_ARG_LEN)... Also, len is unsigned, so len < 0 is useless even for this reason. > if (len != set_arglen[SET_CMDID(cmd)]) { > pr_err("set_ctl: len %u != %u\n", > len, set_arglen[SET_CMDID(cmd)]); > -- > 1.8.5.5 Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
