[PATCH] drbd: reject out-of-range sizes when draining data
Posted by Linmao Li 1 week, 5 days ago
drbd_drain_block() receives the peer-provided payload size through a
signed int argument. A wire length above INT_MAX therefore becomes
negative. The receive loop still runs, converts the negative result of
min_t() to an unsigned length, and may receive more than the single
allocated page can hold.

Commit bd910a7660d2 ("drbd: reject data replies with an out-of-range
payload size") addressed the same issue in recv_dless_read(), but the
error paths which discard payload data still use drbd_drain_block().

Reject negative sizes before allocating and mapping the temporary page.

Yep, same thing -- DRBD usually chooses to trust its peers, but the
consequences here are pretty bad and the fix is trivial, so let's do it.
