From 75f9b4534aa31e33e96ae36dd96a62907470da91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:00:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] macvtap: limit head length of skb allocated commit 16a3fa28630331e28208872fa5341ce210b901c7 upstream. 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 Cc: Michael S.
