fs/proc/task_mmu.c: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map()
Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR. After debuggind we found this has something
to do with following bug in pagemap:
In struct pagemapread:
struct pagemapread {
int pos, len;
pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
bool v2;
};
pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
random kernel panic issue.
Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: document pagemapread.pos and .len units, fix PM_ENTRY_BYTES definition]
