Maurizio Lombardi 90ff01e9ac mm: prevent page_frag_alloc() from corrupting the memory
commit dac22531bbd4af2426c4e29e05594415ccfa365d upstream.

A number of drivers call page_frag_alloc() with a fragment's size >
PAGE_SIZE.

In low memory conditions, __page_frag_cache_refill() may fail the order
3 cache allocation and fall back to order 0; In this case, the cache
will be smaller than the fragment, causing memory corruptions.

Prevent this from happening by checking if the newly allocated cache is
large enough for the fragment; if not, the allocation will fail and
page_frag_alloc() will return NULL.

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.
