Subject[PATCH] sunrpc - fixup userspace buffer possible overrun v2
Vegard Nossum reported
----------------------
> I noticed that something weird is going on with /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports.
> This file is generated in net/sunrpc/sysctl.c, function proc_do_xprt(). When
> I "cat" this file, I get the expected output:
> $ cat /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports
> tcp 1048576
> udp 32768

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
probably used here.

The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
size indeed so fix. Also set lenp to number of bytes were really written.
