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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

commit adee11b2085bee90bd8f4f52123ffb07882d6256 upstream.

Check provided length of partition table so that (possibly maliciously)
corrupted partition table cannot cause accessing data beyond current buffer.

I don't think this is sufficient, unless there has been some prior
validation of lvd->mapTableLength.  On a 32-bit machine, the addition
may overflow.  The untrusted value has to be validated before doing
any arithmetic on it, e.g.:

	if (table_len > sb->s_blocksize - sizeof(*lv)) {
  Yeah, thanks for spotting this! I've queued the attached patch. I don't
find this really pressing so I'll push it in the next merge window. OK?
