[dpdk-stable] patch 'mem: fix overflow on allocation' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.9

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/10/20. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/246bd855dff27be510ab98af9629124d3f610cd4

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] mem: fix overflow on allocation

[ upstream commit b341a09c1dd3664b43d5b3a91b6a83136f2d4a12 ]

The size checking is done in the caller. The size parameter is an
unsigned (64b wide) right now, so the comparison with zero should be
enough in most cases. But it won't help in the following case.
If the allocating request input a huge number by mistake, e.g., some
overflow after the calculation (especially subtraction), the checking
in the caller will succeed since it is not zero. Indeed, there is not
enough space in the system to support such huge memory allocation.
Usually it will return failure in the following code. But if the
input size is just a little smaller than the UINT64_MAX, like -2 in
signed type.
The roundup will cause an overflow and then "reset" the size to 0,
and then only a header (128B now) with zero length will be returned.
The following will be the previous allocation header.
It should be OK in most cases if the application won't access the
memory body. Or else, some critical issue will be caused and not easy
to debug. So this issue should be prevented at the beginning, like
other big size failure, NULL pointer should be returned also.

Fixes: fdf20fa7bee9 ("add prefix to cache line macros")
