Hi Arjan,

could you address the comments Julian made about this?
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0910.0/00852.html

	OK, you can add my signed-off line after changing
	'cmd > ...MAX + 1' to 'cmd > ...MAX' at both
	places, nf_sockopt_ops ranges are [optmin ... optmax)

	May be comments should be changed because:

	- i'm not the author but after ispection we do not see any holes,
	we do not want users to upgrade just for this change
	- the cmd checks are just to help code checking tools
	- the len checks should help programmers (may be BUG_ON is
	better, user does not deserve EINVAL for wrong set_arglen/get_arglen).
	Checks for *len and len are not needed.

	For example, for len checks this should be enough, before
	copy_from_user():

	in do_ip_vs_get_ctl check can be
	BUG_ON(get_arglen[GET_CMDID(cmd)] > sizeof(arg));

	in do_ip_vs_set_ctl check can be
	BUG_ON(set_arglen[SET_CMDID(cmd)] > sizeof(arg));
