This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled EDAC: Poll timeout cannot be zero, p2 to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.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-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.19. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 2322c9e50fb3160a1c0d59f198c5fc1f62eee25d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 15:05:13 -0500 Subject: EDAC: Poll timeout cannot be zero, p2 commit 9da21b1509d8aa7ab4846722817d16c72d656c91 upstream. Sanitize code even more to accept unsigned longs only and to not allow polling intervals below 1 second as this is unnecessary and doesn't make much sense anyway for polling errors.
