This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled radix-tree: must check __radix_tree_preload() return value to the 4.12-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: radix-tree-must-check-__radix_tree_preload-return-value.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bc9ae2247ac92fd4d962507bafa3afffff6660ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:15:54 -0700 Subject: radix-tree: must check __radix_tree_preload() return value From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bc9ae2247ac92fd4d962507bafa3afffff6660ff upstream. __radix_tree_preload() only disables preemption if no error is returned. So we really need to make sure callers always check the return value. idr_preload() contract is to always disable preemption, so we need to add a missing preempt_disable() if an error happened. Similarly, ida_pre_get() only needs to call preempt_enable() in the case no error happened.
