From: libin <[email protected]> This patch looks like it should be in the 3.8-stable tree, should we apply it?
------------------ From: "libin <[email protected]>" commit fd9b86d37a600488dbd80fe60cca46b822bff1cd upstream Commit 201c373e8e ("sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl") was an incomplete bug fix. This patch fixes sd->*_idx limit range to [0 ~ CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX-1] avoiding array overflow caused by setting sd->*_idx to CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX on sysctl.
