Linux kernel source tree
78824fabc7
There are two problems in svn_pin_memory():
1) The return value of get_user_pages_fast() is stored in an
unsigned long, although the declared return value is of type int.
This will not cause any symptoms, but it is misleading.
Fix this by changing the type of npinned to "int".
2) The number of pages passed into get_user_pages_fast() is stored
in an unsigned long, even though get_user_pages_fast() accepts an
int. This means that it is possible to silently overflow the number
of pages.
Fix this by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE() and an early error return. The
npages variable is left as an unsigned long for convenience in
checking for overflow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
