Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-treewide-redefine-max_order-sanely-fix-fix.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 16:33:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230418233322.7AC7EC433D2@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: avoid passing 0 to __ffs()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-treewide-redefine-max_order-sanely-fix-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: avoid passing 0 to __ffs()
Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 10:25:29 +0300
23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") results in
various boot failures (hang) on arm targets Debug messages reveal the
reason.
########### MAX_ORDER=10 start=0 __ffs(start)=-1 min()=10 min_t=-1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If start==0, __ffs(start) returns 0xfffffff or (as int) -1, which min_t()
interprets as such, while min() apparently uses the returned unsigned long
value. Obviously a negative order isn't received well by the rest of the
code.
