These two functions are called in sendmsg path, and the
'len' is passed from user-space, so we should not allow
malicious users to OOM kernel on purpose.

Ping...

David, this patch seems still not applied, I guess you expect NFC

The NFC maintainer needs to take this, ping them explicitly if

Thanks!
