Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iommu/vt-d: avoid invalid memory access via node_online(NUMA_NO_NODE)<br />
<br />
KASAN reports:<br />
<br />
[ 4.668325][ T0] BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in dmar_parse_one_rhsa (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:214 arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:226 include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:142 include/linux/nodemask.h:415 drivers/iommu/intel/dmar.c:497)<br />

[ 4.709133][ T0] ? dmar_parse_one_rhsa (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:214 arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:226 include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:142 include/linux/nodemask.h:415 drivers/iommu/intel/dmar.c:497)<br />
<br />
after converting the type of the first argument (@nr, bit number)<br />
of arch_test_bit() from `long` to `unsigned long`[0].<br />
<br />
Under certain conditions (for example, when ACPI NUMA is disabled<br />
via command line), pxm_to_node() can return %NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).<br />
It is valid &#39;magic&#39; number of NUMA node, but not valid bit number<br />
to use in bitops.<br />
node_online() eventually descends to test_bit() without checking<br />
for the input, assuming it&#39;s on caller side (which might be good<br />
for perf-critical tasks). There, -1 becomes %ULONG_MAX which leads<br />
to an insane array index when calculating bit position in memory.<br />
<br />
For now, add an explicit check for @node being not %NUMA_NO_NODE<br />
before calling test_bit(). The actual logics didn&#39;t change here<br />
at all.<br />
