Commit 63692df1 ("PCI: Allow numa_node override via sysfs") didn't check that
the numa node provided by userspace is valid. Passing a node number too high
would attempt to access invalid memory and trigger a kernel panic.

This needs to be "node >= MAX_NUMNODES", doesn't it?  I'll fix it up if
you agree.

Looks like a candidate for stable.

Not a strenuous objection, but I don't see much bound checking using
MAX_NUMNODES in the kernel outside of the core numa area.  Is fixing
node_online() with bounds checking a better option here so that other callers
get the fix?  I would have thought that calling node_online() with node >
MAX_NUMNODES should be safe to call.

Yup, you're right.

I don't know, this will add overhead to node_online(), and isn't really
done in any other similar function. For example, cpu_online() isn't safe
to call with cpu > NR_CPUS either.


Thanks,

Yes, that would certainly be an option.  I don't feel super strongly
either way, but one argument in favor of Sasha's approach is that the
validation of user input is nice and obvious right at the point where
we process the input.
