From a6d77081e266605c9f4d8c11e0ee00468b9dc614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 08:18:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Limit rcu_state::levelcnt[] to RCU_NUM_LVLS items Variable rcu_num_lvls is limited by RCU_NUM_LVLS macro. In turn, rcu_state::levelcnt[] array is never accessed beyond rcu_num_lvls. Thus, rcu_state::levelcnt[] is safe to limit to RCU_NUM_LVLS items. Since rcu_num_lvls could be changed during boot (as result of rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf kernel parameter update) one might assume a new value could overflow the value of RCU_NUM_LVLS. However, that is not the case, since leaf-level fanout is only permitted to increase, resulting in rcu_num_lvls possibly to decrease. Cc: "Paul E.
