The patch titled
Subject: idr: fix invalid ptr dereference on item delete
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
idr-fix-invalid-ptr-dereference-on-item-delete.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: idr: fix invalid ptr dereference on item delete
If the radix tree underlying the IDR happens to be full and we attempt to
remove an id which is larger than any id in the IDR, we will call
__radix_tree_delete() with an uninitialised 'slot' pointer, at which point
anything could happen. This was easiest to hit with a single entry at id
0 and attempting to remove a non-0 id, but it could have happened with 64
entries and attempting to remove an id >= 64.
Roman said:
The syzcaller test boils down to opening /dev/kvm, creating an
eventfd, and calling a couple of KVM ioctls. None of this requires
superuser. And the result is dereferencing an uninitialized pointer
which is likely a crash. The specific path caught by syzbot is via
KVM_HYPERV_EVENTD ioctl which is new in 4.17. But I guess there are
other user-triggerable paths, so cc:stable is probably justified.
Matthew added:
We have around 250 calls to idr_remove() in the kernel today. Many
of them pass an ID which is embedded in the object they're removing,
so they're safe. Picking a few likely candidates:
drivers/firewire/core-cdev.c looks unsafe; the ID comes from an ioctl.
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ctx.c is similar
drivers/atm/nicstar.c could be taken down by a handcrafted packet
