Subject: [PATCH 1/1] pagemap: fix buffer overflow in add_to_pagemap()
In struc pagemapread:
struct pagemapread {
int pos, len;
pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
bool v2;
};
pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of buffer,
it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_to_pagemap() for checking
buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and random
kernel panic issue.
Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.

You can find coding style violation with scripts/checkpatch.pl.
And I think this patch is worth going into -stable trees
(maybe since 2.6.34.)
The fix itself looks fine to me.
Thanks,

[PATCH 1/1] pagemap: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map()
Hi,
Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enable
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR in kernel, after debuggint sometime we found
this has something to do with following bug in pagemap:
In struc pagemapread:
struct pagemapread {
int pos, len;
pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
bool v2;
};
pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of buffer,
it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for checking
buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and random
kernel panic issue.
Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.
