Subject: nfsd4: reject "negative" acl lengths
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 64a817cfbded8674f345d1117b117f942a351a69 upstream.
Since we only enforce an upper bound, not a lower bound, a "negative"
length can get through here.
The symptom seen was a warning when we attempt to a kmalloc with an
excessive size.
