The first "if" condition in __memcpy_flushcache is supposed to align the "dest" variable to 8 bytes and copy data up to this alignment. However, this condition may misbehave if "size" is greater than 4GiB. The statement min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest); casts both arguments to unsigned int and selects the smaller one. However, the cast truncates high bits in "size" and it results in misbehavior. For example: suppose that size == 0x100000001, dest == 0x200000002 min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest) == min_t(0x1, 0xe) == 0x1; ... dest += 0x1; so we copy just one byte "and" dest remains unaligned. This patch fixes the bug by replacing unsigned with size_t. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

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.
