3.2.89-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 13bf9fbff0e5e099e2b6f003a0ab8ae145436309 upstream. The NFSv2/v3 code does not systematically check whether we decode past the end of the buffer. This generally appears to be harmless, but there are a few places where we do arithmetic on the pointers involved and don't account for the possibility that a length could be negative. Add checks to catch these. Reported-by: Tuomas Haanpää <thaan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Ari Kauppi <ari@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: J.
