This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pkey exhaustion test off-by-one to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-pkeys-selftests-fix-pkey-exhaustion-test-off-by-one.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@vger.kernel.org> know about it. From foo@baz Sun Jun 17 12:13:49 CEST 2018 From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 10:13:50 -0700 Subject: x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pkey exhaustion test off-by-one From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> [ Upstream commit f50b4878329ab61d8e05796f655adeb6f5fb57c6 ] In our "exhaust all pkeys" test, we make sure that there is the expected number available. Turns out that the test did not cover the execute-only key, but discussed it anyway. It did *not* discuss the test-allocated key. Now that we have a test for the mprotect(PROT_EXEC) case, this off-by-one issue showed itself. Correct the off-by- one and add the explanation for the case we missed.
