The logic that checks incoming network headers has to be scrupulous. De-duplicate: replace open-coded buffer overflow checks with the use of xdr_stream helpers that are used most everywhere else XDR decoding is done. One minor change to the sanity checks: instead of checking the length of individual segments, cap the length of the whole chunk to be sure it can fit in the set of pages available in rq_pages. This should be a better test of whether the server can handle the chunks in each request. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
