[PATCH 4.4 16/16] crypto: algif_skcipher - only call put_page on referenced and used pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephan Mueller <smueller@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 445a582738de6802669aeed9c33ca406c23c3b1f upstream.

For asynchronous operation, SGs are allocated without a page mapped to
them or with a page that is not used (ref-counted). If the SGL is freed,
the code must only call put_page for an SG if there was a page assigned
and ref-counted in the first place.

This fixes a kernel crash when using io_submit with more than one iocb
using the sendmsg and sendpage (vmsplice/splice) interface.
