3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gust...@embeddedor.com> commit 2be147f7459db5bbf292e0a6f135037b55e20b39 upstream. pool can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/atm/zatm.c:1462 zatm_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'zatm_dev->pool_info' (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing pool before using it to index zatm_dev->pool_info Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
