[PATCH] tun: make sure interface usage can not overflow

From: Kees Cook
Date: Sun Sep 28 2014 - 19:28:10 EST


This makes the size argument a const, since it is always populated by
the caller. Additionally double-checks to make sure the copy_from_user
can never overflow, keeping CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS happy:

In function 'copy_from_user',
inlined from '__tun_chr_ioctl' at drivers/net/tun.c:1871:7:
... copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
