[ 05/23] fib_trie: remove potential out of bound access

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 12 2013 - 13:51:36 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit aab515d7c32a34300312416c50314e755ea6f765 ]

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.

Bug added in commit 82cfbb008572b ("[IPV4] fib_trie: iterator recode")
