This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ethernet: mlx4: Fix memory allocation in mlx4_buddy_init() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-ethernet-mlx4-fix-memory-allocation-in-mlx4_budd.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fd4fd79dabc6f95b452056f085404fe6b5427fb0 Author: Shung-Hsi Yu <shung-hsi.yu@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 31 22:37:09 2020 +0800 net: ethernet: mlx4: Fix memory allocation in mlx4_buddy_init() [ Upstream commit cbedcb044e9cc4e14bbe6658111224bb923094f4 ] On machines with much memory (> 2 TByte) and log_mtts_per_seg == 0, a max_order of 31 will be passed to mlx_buddy_init(), which results in s = BITS_TO_LONGS(1 << 31) becoming a negative value, leading to kvmalloc_array() failure when it is converted to size_t. mlx4_core 0000:b1:00.0: Failed to initialize memory region table, aborting mlx4_core: probe of 0000:b1:00.0 failed with error -12 Fix this issue by changing the left shifting operand from a signed literal to an unsigned one.
