	The above check ensures the set_arglen[] value (some
struct size) does not exceed the arg[MAX_ARG_LEN] space. You can check
commit 04bcef2a83f40c ("ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl arguments")
for more info. Still, check can be reduced to
if (len > MAX_ARG_LEN)... Also, len is unsigned, so len < 0 is
useless even for this reason.
