3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: yonghua zheng [ Upstream commit 8c8296223f3abb142be8fc31711b18a704c0e7d8 ] Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR. After debuggind we found this has something to do with following bug in pagemap: In struct pagemapread: struct pagemapread { int pos, len; pagemap_entry_t *buffer; bool v2; }; pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and random kernel panic issue. Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.
