This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: send: limit number of clones and allocated memory size to the 6.1-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: btrfs-send-limit-number-of-clones-and-allocated-memo.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c853ef438e2e2941bb50c9affc3614a2c18817a1 Author: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 24 20:32:10 2023 +0100 btrfs: send: limit number of clones and allocated memory size [ Upstream commit 33e17b3f5ab74af12aca58c515bc8424ff69a343 ] The arg->clone_sources_count is u64 and can trigger a warning when a huge value is passed from user space and a huge array is allocated. Limit the allocated memory to 8MiB (can be increased if needed), which in turn limits the number of clone sources to 8M / sizeof(struct clone_root) = 8M / 40 = 209715. Real world number of clones is from tens to hundreds, so this is future proof.
