6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thanassis Avgerinos <thanassis.avgerinos@xxxxxxxxx> commit 38762a0763c10c24a4915feee722d7aa6e73eb98 upstream. Ensure that packet_buffer_get respects the user_length provided. If the length of the head packet exceeds the user_length, packet_buffer_get will now return 0 to signify to the user that no data were read and a larger buffer size is required. Helps prevent user space overflows.
