This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl
to the 3.4-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:
sched-debug-limit-sd-_idx-range-on-sysctl.patch
and it can be found in the queue-3.4 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

Subject: sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>
commit 201c373e8e4823700d3160d5c28e1ab18fd1193e upstream.
Various sd->*_idx's are used for refering the rq's load average table
when selecting a cpu to run. However they can be set to any number
with sysctl knobs so that it can crash the kernel if something bad is
given. Fix it by limiting them into the actual range.
