Subject: [PATCH] mm/shrinker: avoid out-of-bounds read in set_shrinker_bit()
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 19:37:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510183700.102475-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
set_shrinker_bit() reads info->unit[shrinker_id_to_index(shrinker_id)]
before checking shrinker_id against info->map_nr_max, so an id past the
currently visible map_nr_max reads past the unit[] array before the
WARN_ON_ONCE() catches it.
Move the load into the bounded branch.
Fixes: 307bececcd12 ("mm: shrinker: add a secondary array for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}")
