tuntap: limit head length of skb allocated
[ Upstream commit 96f8d9ecf227638c89f98ccdcdd50b569891976c ] We currently use hdr_len as a hint of head length which is advertised by guest. But when guest advertise a very big value, it can lead to an 64K+ allocating of kmalloc() which has a very high possibility of failure when host memory is fragmented or under heavy stress. The huge hdr_len also reduce the effect of zerocopy or even disable if a gso skb is linearized in guest. To solves those issues, this patch introduces an upper limit (PAGE_SIZE) of the head, which guarantees an order 0 allocation each time. Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.
