    tuntap: limit head length of skb allocated · 96f8d9ec
    Jason Wang authored
    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.
