Some pktgen fixes/improvments (part I)
While taking a look at '[PATCH net] pktgen: Avoid out-of-range in
get_imix_entries' ([1]) and '[PATCH net v2] pktgen: Avoid out-of-bounds
access in get_imix_entries' ([2], [3]) and doing some tests and code review
I detected that the /proc/net/pktgen/... parsing logic does not honour the
user given buffer bounds (resulting in out-of-bounds access).
This can be observed e.g. by the following simple test (sometimes the
old/'longer' previous value is re-read from the buffer):
$ echo add_device lo@0 > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
$ echo "min_pkt_size 12345" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 12345 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=12345
$ echo -n "min_pkt_size 123" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 12345 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=12345
$ echo "min_pkt_size 123" > /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0 && grep min_pkt_size /proc/net/pktgen/lo\@0
Params: count 1000 min_pkt_size: 123 max_pkt_size: 0
Result: OK: min_pkt_size=123
So fix the out-of-bounds access (and some minor findings) and add a simple
proc_net_pktgen selftest...

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 reStructuredText 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.
