Subject: mm/mempolicy.c: avoid use uninitialized preferred_node
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c218eb3152efa5b424e3c6951d6796a357a45f05;p=pandora-kernel.git

mm/mempolicy.c: avoid use uninitialized preferred_node

commit 8970a63e965b43288c4f5f40efbc2bbf80de7f16 upstream.

Alexander reported a use of uninitialized memory in __mpol_equal(),
which is caused by incorrect use of preferred_node.

When mempolicy in mode MPOL_PREFERRED with flags MPOL_F_LOCAL, it uses
numa_node_id() instead of preferred_node, however, __mpol_equal() uses
preferred_node without checking whether it is MPOL_F_LOCAL or not.
