#1233377 — [PATCH 4.1 150/159] rds: fix an integer overflow test in rds_info_getsockopt()

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 468b732b6f76b138c0926eadf38ac88467dcd271 ]

"len" is a signed integer.  We check that len is not negative, so it
goes from zero to INT_MAX.  PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long so the comparison
is type promoted to unsigned long.  ULONG_MAX - 4095 is a higher than
INT_MAX so the condition can never be true.

I don't know if this is harmful but it seems safe to limit "len" to
INT_MAX - 4095.
