** Description changed:

- Placeholder
+ In rds_cmsg_rdma_args(), the user-provided args->nr_local value is
+ restricted to less than UINT_MAX.  This seems to need a tighter upper
+ bound, since the calculation of total iov_size can overflow, resulting
+ in a small sock_kmalloc() allocation.  This would probably just result
+ in walking off the heap and crashing when calling rds_rdma_pages() with
+ a high count value.  If it somehow doesn't crash here, then memory
+ corruption could occur soon after.
