Subject: net: Cap number of elements for sendmmsg
From: Anton Blanchard <an...@samba.org>
commit 98382f419f32d2c12d021943b87dea555677144b upstream.
To limit the amount of time we can spend in sendmmsg, cap the
number of elements to UIO_MAXIOV (currently 1024).
For error handling an application using sendmmsg needs to retry at
the first unsent message, so capping is simpler and requires less
application logic than returning EINVAL.
