CVE-2021-47040 Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: fix overflows checks in provide buffers Colin reported before possible overflow and sign extension problems in io_provide_buffers_prep(). As Linus pointed out previous attempt did nothing useful, see d81269fecb8ce ("io_uring: fix provide_buffers sign extension"). Do that with help of check__overflow helpers. And fix struct io_provide_buf::len type, as it doesn\'t make much sense to keep it signed.
