Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 21:09:49 +0900 Message-Id: <20150603114210.563532168@linuxfoundation.org> In-Reply-To: <20150603114205.337615117@linuxfoundation.org> References: <20150603114205.337615117@linuxfoundation.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown commit 6e9eac2dcee5e19f125967dd2be3e36558c42fff upstream. If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return -ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway. This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed to be larger than they are, and badness results. So only update pool_size if there is no error. This bug was introduced in 2.6.17 and the patch is suitable for -stable.
