Re: [PATCH net v5 2/3] net/smc: bound the peer rkey counts in SMC-Rv2 LLC messages

> Does this bounds check allow processing of stale memory?

It does, and 3/3 of this series stops it. This patch bounds by the size
of the buffer the message landed in; 3/3 copies the tail of the message
into the queue entry and bounds by its length instead.

The bound in this patch never fires on a link with a shared v2 receive
buffer. It works out at 507 rkeys for ADD_LINK and 2046 for
DELETE_RKEY, and the min_t() above it has already capped both at 255.
I measured a 44-byte DELETE_RKEY_V2 declaring 255 rkeys: mainline and
this patch draw the same response, and in two of the four exchanges an
rkey read past the message was live and was deleted. With 3/3 applied
the response reports 9.

It does fire on a link without that buffer, where it becomes 9. That is
the out-of-bounds read this patch fixes, and why it carries Cc: stable
while 3/3 does not.
