3.8.13.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 16a3fa28630331e28208872fa5341ce210b901c7 ]

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.
