mainlining shenanigans
1cebf8f143
As reported by Reobert O'Callahan, since Viro's commit to kill
dev_ifsioc() we attempt to copy too much data in compat mode,
which may lead to EFAULT when the 32-bit version of struct ifreq
sits at/near the end of a page boundary, and the next page isn't
mapped.
Fix this by passing the approprate compat/non-compat size to copy
and using that, as before the dev_ifsioc() removal. This works
because only the embedded "struct ifmap" has different size, and
this is only used in SIOCGIFMAP/SIOCSIFMAP which has a different
handler. All other parts of the union are naturally compatible.
This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199469.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
