This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xen-blkfront: use a right index when checking requests to the 4.9-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: xen-blkfront-use-a-right-index-when-checking-requests.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b15bd8cb37598afb2963f7eb9e2de468d2d60a2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2017 15:31:40 -0700 Subject: xen-blkfront: use a right index when checking requests From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b15bd8cb37598afb2963f7eb9e2de468d2d60a2f upstream. Since commit d05d7f40791c ("Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block") and 3fc9d690936f ("Merge branch 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block"), blkfront_resume() has been using an index for iterating ring_info to check request when iterating blk_shadow in an inner loop. This seems to have been accidentally introduced during the massive rewrite of the block layer macros in the commits. This may cause crash like this: [11798.057074] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 [11798.058832] IP: [<ffffffff814411fa>] blkfront_resume+0x10a/0x610 ....
