Without this length argument, we can read past the end of the iovec in
memcpy_toiovec because we have no way of knowing the total length of the
iovec's buffers.

This is needed for stable kernels where 89c22d8c3b27 ("net: Fix skb
csum races when peeking") has been backported but that don't have the
ioviter conversion, which is almost all the stable trees <= 3.18.

This also fixes a kernel crash for NFS servers when the client uses
 -onfsvers=3,proto=udp to mount the export.

Do you have this in your queue? I saw a few other stables pick this
up, but haven't seen it in 3.14 or 3.18 yet. It wasn't clear to me if
this had been fully reviewed yet.

I rely on Dave to package up networking stable patches and forward them
on to me, that's why you haven't seen it be picked up yet.

thanks,

David, can you queue this up?

Thanks,
