Yisheng Xie 6cab60ac6a mm/mempolicy: fix the check of nodemask from user
[ Upstream commit 56521e7a02b7b84a5e72691a1fb15570e6055545 ]

As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will fail on arm64 system
which has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2:

  migrate_pages01    0  TINFO  :  test_invalid_nodes
  migrate_pages01   14  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1
  migrate_pages01   15  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly

In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call:
SYSC_migrate_pages as:

  migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0

The new nodes specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the
maximum supported node ID, however, the errno is not set to EINVAL as
expected.

As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3]
mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater
than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL.
However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits
[BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and
remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
unchecked.

This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes
to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one
or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID,
which follows the manpage's guide.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
