This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/i40iw: Avoid panic when reading back the IRQ affinity hint to the 4.14-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: rdma-i40iw-avoid-panic-when-reading-back-the-irq-affinity-hint.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 43731753c4b7d832775cf6b2301dd0447a5a1851 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Boyer <andrew.boyer@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 13:23:38 -0400 Subject: RDMA/i40iw: Avoid panic when reading back the IRQ affinity hint From: Andrew Boyer <andrew.boyer@xxxxxxxx> commit 43731753c4b7d832775cf6b2301dd0447a5a1851 upstream. The current code sets an affinity hint with a cpumask_t stored on the stack. This value can then be accessed through /proc/irq/*/affinity_hint/, causing a segfault or returning corrupt data. Move the cpumask_t into struct i40iw_msix_vector so it is available later.
