This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled staging: zsmalloc: Ensure handle is never 0 on success to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 6669d9d99ccc6e80daa291e8576ed6e3b33a6998 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olav Haugan <ohaugan@codeaurora.org> Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:30:41 -0800 Subject: staging: zsmalloc: Ensure handle is never 0 on success commit 67296874eb1cc80317bf2a8fba22b494e21eb29b upstream. zsmalloc encodes a handle using the pfn and an object index. On hardware platforms with physical memory starting at 0x0 the pfn can be 0. This causes the encoded handle to be 0 and is incorrectly interpreted as an allocation failure. This issue affects all current and future SoCs with physical memory starting at 0x0. All MSM8974 SoCs which includes Google Nexus 5 devices are affected. To prevent this false error we ensure that the encoded handle will not be 0 when allocation succeeds.
