[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 137/155] PCI: Prevent out of bounds access in numa_node override

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Nov 12 2015 - 18:27:41 EST


3.19.8-ckt10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1266963170f576d4d08e6310b6963e26d3ff9d1e upstream.

63692df103e9 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs") didn't check that
the numa node provided by userspace is valid. Passing a node number too
high would attempt to access invalid memory and trigger a kernel panic.

Fixes: 63692df103e9 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs")
