With out_len == 0 , kvzalloc() returns\nZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the !rpc_out check, the subsequent\nrpc_out->size = 0 then writes through the poison pointer.\n\nReject requests whose output buffer can't hold the response header,\nbefore allocating. The Set Feature reply carries no payload, so the\nheader is all that is required."
