<title>cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu - local cpu first</title>

<id>da91309e0a7e8966d916a74cce42ed170fde06bf</id>
<content type='text'>
This function sets the n'th cpu - local cpu's first.
For example: in a 16 cores server with even cpu's local, will get the
following values:
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(0, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 0 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(1, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 2 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(7, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 14 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(8, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 1 is set
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(9, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 3 is set
...
cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(15, numa, cpumask) =&gt; cpu 15 is set

Curently this function will be used by multi queue networking devices to
calculate the irq affinity mask, such that as many local cpu's as
possible will be utilized to handle the mq device irq's.

debugging an actual radix tree memory leak, this patch updates the

After idr subsystem is changed to RCU-awared, the free layer will not go
to the free list.  The free list will not be filled up when
idr_remove().  So we don't need to shink it too.

When the smaller id is not found, idr_replace() returns -ENOENT.  But
when the id is bigger enough, idr_replace() returns -EINVAL, actually
there is no difference between these two kinds of ids.

These are all unallocated id, the return values of the idr_replace() for
these ids should be the same: -ENOENT.

<title>idr: fix NULL pointer dereference when ida_remove(unallocated_id)</title>

<id>aef0f62e87122c0fb90d5da660fd131acd0a9d67</id>
<content type='text'>
If the ida has at least one existing id, and when an unallocated ID
which meets a certain condition is passed to the ida_remove(), the
system will crash because it hits NULL pointer dereference.

The condition is that the unallocated ID shares the same lowest idr
layer with the existing ID, but the idr slot would be different if the
unallocated ID were to be allocated.

In this case the matching idr slot for the unallocated_id is NULL,
causing @bitmap to be NULL which the function dereferences without
checking crashing the kernel.

See the test code:

  static void test3(void)
  {
        int id;
        DEFINE_IDA(test_ida);

        printk(KERN_INFO "Start test3\n");
        if (ida_pre_get(&amp;test_ida, GFP_KERNEL) &lt; 0) return;
        if (ida_get_new(&amp;test_ida,  &amp;id) &lt; 0) return;
        ida_remove(&amp;test_ida, 4000); /* bug: null deference here */
        printk(KERN_INFO "End of test3\n");
  }

It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is
the caller's fault.  It is not a bug.  But it is better to add the
proper check and complain rather than crashing the kernel.
