Subject: [PATCH 1/6] md/raid5: size the worker group array by nr_node_ids
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:23:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710132346.7295-2-nishidafmly@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710132346.7295-1-nishidafmly@gmail.com>

alloc_thread_groups() sizes conf->worker_groups[] by num_possible_nodes()
-- the number of possible NUMA nodes -- but raid5_wakeup_stripe_thread()
indexes it by cpu_to_group(cpu), i.e. cpu_to_node(cpu), which is a node
id.  When the node map is sparse (for example possible nodes 0 and 2) the
node count is 2 while the largest node id is 2, so the index reaches
worker_groups[2] on a two-element array -- an out-of-bounds access.

This has stayed latent because worker groups are only allocated when
group_thread_cnt is non-zero, and the historical default is 0.  Size the
array by nr_node_ids -- one past the largest possible node id -- so that
indexing by cpu_to_node() is always in bounds.  On a dense node map
nr_node_ids equals num_possible_nodes() and nothing changes; on a sparse
map the array just gains the unused id slots it needs.

Fixes: 851c30c9badf ("raid5: offload stripe handle to workqueue")
