From: Chunyan Zhang <[email protected]> Since both sw_start and sw_end are master indices, the size of array that holds them is sw_end - sw_start + 1, which the current code gets wrong, allocating one item less than required.
This patch corrects the allocation size, avoiding potential slab corruption.
