Subject[099/205] ethtool: Fix potential kernel buffer overflow in ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

commit db048b69037e7fa6a7d9e95a1271a50dc08ae233 upstream.

On a 32-bit machine, info.rule_cnt >= 0x40000000 leads to integer
overflow and the buffer may be smaller than needed. Since
ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is unprivileged, this can presumably be used for at
least denial of service.
