From: David Dillow Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:01:12 +0000 (-0700) Subject: IB/srp: Enforce protocol limit on srp_sg_tablesize X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e89a1946cfd906d12eff437d2a76b3aa7f5e731;p=linux-beck.git IB/srp: Enforce protocol limit on srp_sg_tablesize The current SRP initiator will allow unlimited s/g entries in the indirect descriptors lists, but the entry count field in the SRP_CMD request is 8 bits, so setting srp_sg_tablesize too large will open the possibility of wrapping the count and generating invalid requests. Clamp srp_sg_tablesize to the protocol limits to prevent surprises. Reported by Martin W. Schlining III .
