The mainline commit 8fde12ca79af ("mm: prevent get_user_pages() from
overflowing page refcount") was backported to 4.14.y stable as commit
04198de24771. The backport however missed that in 4.14, there are several
arch-specific gup.c versions with fast gup implementations, so these do not
prevent refcount overflow.
This stable-only commit fixes the s390 version, and is based on the backport in
SUSE SLES/openSUSE 4.12-based kernels.
The remaining architectures with own gup.c are sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely
the known overflow scenario based on FUSE, which needs 140GB of RAM, is a
problem for those architectures, and I don't feel confident enough to patch
them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
