------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Do proper boundary checking in sys_swapon()
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>


sys_swapon currently does not limit the number of swap devices.  It may as
a result overwrite memory following the swap_info array and get into
entanglements with page migration since it may usethe swap types reserved
for page migration.

Fix this by limiting the number of swap devices in swapon to MAX_SWAPFILES
