From 261eba73353edd48b0c0cb7aad59553dfc712ebc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:41:30 -0700 Subject: drivers/message/i2o/i2o_config.c: bound allocation Fix a case where users can try to allocate arbitarily large amounts of memory. 64K is overkill for a config request so apply an upper bound.
