3.5.7.22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit aab515d7c32a34300312416c50314e755ea6f765 upstream. AddressSanitizer [1] dynamic checker pointed a potential out of bound access in leaf_walk_rcu() We could allocate one more slot in tnode_new() to leave the prefetch() in-place but it looks not worth the pain.
