Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after checking populated elements
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 13:51:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210618125102.GU30378@techsingularity.net> (raw)

Dan Carpenter reported the following

  The patch 0f87d9d30f21: "mm/page_alloc: add an array-based interface
  to the bulk page allocator" from Apr 29, 2021, leads to the following
  static checker warning:

        mm/page_alloc.c:5338 __alloc_pages_bulk()
        warn: potentially one past the end of array 'page_array[nr_populated]'

The problem can occur if an array is passed in that is fully populated. That
potentially ends up allocating a single page and storing it past the end of
the array. This patch returns 0 if the array is fully populated.

Fixes: 0f87d9d30f21 ("mm/page_alloc: add an array-based interface to the bulk page allocator")
