The size computations done in the ioctl function use an integer. If userspace submits a request with req->cmd_nr or req->cmd_buf_nr set to INT_MAX, the integer computations overflow later, leading to potential (kernel) memory corruption. Prevent this issue by enforcing a limit on the number of submitted commands, so that we have enough headroom later for the size computations. Note that this change has no impact on the currently available users in userspace, like e.g. libdrm/exynos. While at it, also make a comment about the size computation more detailed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
