Linux kernel source tree
cd481c1226
Add overflow check for clone->nr_regions variable, which holds the
number of regions of the target.
The overflow can occur with sufficiently large devices, if BITS_PER_LONG
== 32. E.g., if the region size is 8 sectors (4K), the overflow would
occur for device sizes > 34359738360 sectors (~16TB).
This could result in multiple device sectors wrongly mapping to the same
region number, due to the truncation from 64 bits to 32 bits, which
would lead to data corruption.

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.
