Hi,

You are right, the commit message overstates the impact. The actual
result is an immediate kernel oops, not an OOB write into adjacent slab
objects. The fix is still correct - checking the return value avoids the
oops. Shall I send a v3 with a corrected commit message?

Yes, please send v3.

Sami
