ext4: fix spectre gadget in ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
commit 1a5d5e5d51e75a5bca67dadbcea8c841934b7b85 upstream. 'ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len' is a user-controlled value which is used in the derivation of 'ac->ac_2order'. 'ac->ac_2order', in turn, is used to index arrays which makes it a potential spectre gadget. Fix this by sanitizing the value assigned to 'ac->ac2_order'. This covers the following accesses found with the help of smatch: * fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1896 ext4_mb_simple_scan_group() warn: potential spectre issue 'grp->bb_counters' [w] (local cap) * fs/ext4/mballoc.c:445 mb_find_buddy() warn: potential spectre issue 'EXT4_SB(e4b->bd_sb)->s_mb_offsets' [r] (local cap) * fs/ext4/mballoc.c:446 mb_find_buddy() warn: potential spectre issue 'EXT4_SB(e4b->bd_sb)->s_mb_maxs' [r] (local cap) Suggested-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Cline <jcline@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
