Re: [PATCH] ieee802154: verify packet size before trying to allocate it

Currently when sending data over datagram, the send function will attempt to
allocate any size passed on from the userspace.

We should make sure that this size is checked and limited. The maximum size
of an IP packet seemed like the safest limit here.

As I understand it this issue was present in the original code that was
introduced in 2.6.31 RC1. Should this therefore be submitted to stable
(in which case David will do so)?
