PaX: size overflow detected

PaX: size overflow detected

[Alec Blayne]

Hi, I got this warning on dmesg:

 PAX: size overflow detected in function btrfs_get_extent
fs/btrfs/inode.c:6690 cicus.1228_386 min, count: 104, decl: len; num: 0;
context: extent_map;

Which was followed by this Call Trace:

After this a process which was writting on the disk just hanged,
couldn't kill it etc.

Thought it might interest someone.

I'm running the following kernel on Gentoo:
"Linux faraday 4.4.6-hardened #7 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 27 10:37:51 WEST
2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux"

It has grsecurity patchset, as well as BFQ scheduler.

The filesystem is a two partition raid 1, sitting on top of luks.

Cheers.
