Subject: MIPS: mm: Fix out-of-bounds write in maar_res_walk()
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 19:06:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d060de27-6fdb-452b-95f3-dbcc48db17ff@suse.com> (raw)

maar_res_walk() uses wi->num_cfg as the index into the fixed-size
wi->cfg array, but checks whether the array is full only after it has
filled the selected entry. If walk_system_ram_range() reports more than
16 memory ranges, the overflow call writes one struct maar_config past
the end of the array before WARN_ON() prevents num_cfg from advancing.

Move the full-array check before taking the array slot. Keep the
existing behavior of warning and returning 0 when the scratch array has
no room left.

Fixes: a5718fe8f70f ("MIPS: mm: Drop boot_mem_map")
