Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ext4_mb_seq_groups_show: Fix stack memory corruption
Date: Mon,  7 Nov 2016 12:15:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478501141-15651-1-git-send-email-chandan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The number of 'counters' elements needed in 'struct sg' is
super_block->s_blocksize_bits + 2. Presently we have 16 'counters'
elements in the array. This is insufficient for block sizes >= 32k. In
such cases the memcpy operation performed in ext4_mb_seq_groups_show()
would cause stack memory corruption.
