[173/289] bio: take care not overflow page count when mapping/copying user data

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 20:28:22 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cb4644cac4a2797afc847e6c92736664d4b0ea34 upstream.

If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.
