Nikolay Aleksandrov 3a20773bee net: netlink: cap max groups which will be considered in netlink_bind()
Since nl_groups is a u32 we can't bind more groups via ->bind
(netlink_bind) call, but netlink has supported more groups via
setsockopt() for a long time and thus nlk->ngroups could be over 32.
Recently I added support for per-vlan notifications and increased the
groups to 33 for NETLINK_ROUTE which exposed an old bug in the
netlink_bind() code causing out-of-bounds access on archs where unsigned
long is 32 bits via test_bit() on a local variable. Fix this by capping the
maximum groups in netlink_bind() to BITS_PER_TYPE(u32), effectively
capping them at 32 which is the minimum of allocated groups and the
maximum groups which can be bound via netlink_bind().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
