This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dm verity fec: limit error correction recursion to the 4.10-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: dm-verity-fec-limit-error-correction-recursion.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f1a880a93baaadb14c10a348fd199f1cdb6bcccd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 15:12:23 -0700 Subject: dm verity fec: limit error correction recursion From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f1a880a93baaadb14c10a348fd199f1cdb6bcccd upstream. If the hash tree itself is sufficiently corrupt in addition to data blocks, it's possible for error correction to end up in a deep recursive loop, which eventually causes a kernel panic. This change limits the recursion to a reasonable level during a single I/O operation.
