    mm, gup: add missing refcount overflow checks on s390 · 44efbdc4
    Vlastimil Babka authored
    The mainline commit 8fde12ca ("mm: prevent get_user_pages() from
    overflowing page refcount") was backported to 4.19.y stable as commit
    d972ebbf. The backport however missed that in 4.19, there are several
    arch-specific gup.c versions with fast gup implementations, so these do not
    prevent refcount overflow.
    
    This stable-only commit fixes the s390 version, and is based on the backport in
    SUSE SLES/openSUSE 4.12-based kernels.
    
    The remaining architectures with own gup.c are sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely
    the known overflow scenario based on FUSE, which needs 140GB of RAM, is a
    problem for those architectures, and I don't feel confident enough to patch
    them.
