From 98382f419f32d2c12d021943b87dea555677144b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 14:07:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: Cap number of elements for sendmmsg To limit the amount of time we can spend in sendmmsg, cap the number of elements to UIO_MAXIOV (currently 1024). For error handling an application using sendmmsg needs to retry at the first unsent message, so capping is simpler and requires less application logic than returning EINVAL.
