From 4c3bffc272755c98728c2b58b1a8148cf9e9fd1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Gang Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:22:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/backing-dev.c: check user buffer length before copying data to the related user buffer '*lenp' may be less than "sizeof(kbuf)" so we must check this before the next copy_to_user(). pdflush_proc_obsolete() is called by sysctl which 'procname' is "nr_pdflush_threads", if the user passes buffer length less than "sizeof(kbuf)", it will cause issue.
