Sorry for late response but I couldnt find any reference to the max
length of incoming data for qrtr TUN interface.

Thanks, you're right, qrtr_endpoint_post() will alloc another slab buffer.
We can check the length of skb allocation but we need to do following:

int qrtr_endpoint_post(.., const void *data, size_t len)
{
..
when QRTR_PROTO_VER_1:
hdrlen = sizeof(*data);
when QRTR_PROTO_VER_2:
hdrlen = sizeof(*data) + data->optlen;

len = (KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE - hdrlen) % data->size;
skb = netdev_alloc_skb(NULL, len);
..
skb_put_data(skb, data + hdrlen, size);


So it requires refactoring as in qrtr_tun_write_iter() we just allocate and
pass it to qrtr_endpoint_post() and there
we need to do len calculation as above *before* netdev_alloc_skb(NULL, len).

Perhaps there is a nicer solution though.
