[ Upstream commitb7f97cae7e] CAKE accepts signed overhead values and stores them in an s16, but the adjusted packet length calculation uses unsigned arithmetic. A negative effective length can therefore wrap to a large value. Such configurations make rate accounting depend on integer wraparound rather than on the packet size userspace intended to model. A static netlink lower bound is not enough because packets reaching CAKE can be smaller than any reasonable manual-overhead allowance. Fold the signed overhead adjustment into the existing datapath MPU clamp so negative adjusted lengths are clamped before link-layer framing adjustments.

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.
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.
