Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

svcrdma: Reject Read lists that exceed the page budget

Individual Read segment lengths are validated at decode time, but
nothing prevents a requester from sending multiple segments whose
cumulative length exceeds the rq_pages array budget. When one
segment fills the page array exactly, the runtime guard in
svc_rdma_build_read_segment() is bypassed because len reaches zero.
A subsequent segment then accesses the NULL sentinel slot at
rq_pages[rq_maxpages], resulting in a NULL pointer dereference during
DMA mapping.

Accumulate pages across all Read segments and reject the message at
decode time when the total would overflow the page budget.
