[13/28] relay: prevent integer overflow in relay_open()

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-02-17 01:06:21
Also in: lkml

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

commit f6302f1bcd75a042df69866d98b8d775a668f8f1 upstream.

"subbuf_size" and "n_subbufs" come from the user and they need to be
capped to prevent an integer overflow.
