[PATCH 4.9 020/152] dm verity fec: limit error correction recursion

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 10 2017 - 13:53:03 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f1a880a93baaadb14c10a348fd199f1cdb6bcccd upstream.

If the hash tree itself is sufficiently corrupt in addition to data blocks,
it's possible for error correction to end up in a deep recursive loop,
which eventually causes a kernel panic. This change limits the
recursion to a reasonable level during a single I/O operation.

Fixes: a739ff3f543a ("dm verity: add support for forward error correction")
