Subject: [PATCH] bio: take care not overflow page count when mapping/copying user data, CVE-2010-4162

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721441

CVE-2010-4162

commit cb4644cac4a2797afc847e6c92736664d4b0ea34 upstream.

If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.
