Adding a dns_resolver key whose payload contains a very long option name
resulted in that string being printed in full. This hit the WARN_ONCE()
in set_precision() during the printk(), because printk() only supports a
precision of up to 32767 bytes:
precision 1000000 too large
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 752 at lib/vsprintf.c:2189 vsnprintf+0x4bc/0x5b0
Fix it by limiting option strings (combined name + value) to a much more
reasonable 128 bytes. The exact limit is arbitrary, but currently the
only recognized option is formatted as "dnserror=%lu" which fits well
within this limit.
Also ratelimit the printks.
Reproducer:
perl -e 'print "#", "A" x 1000000, "\x00"' | keyctl padd dns_resolver desc @s

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
