maple_tree: fix MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag in mas_preallocate()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
maple_tree: fix MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag in mas_preallocate()
Temporarily clear the preallocation flag when explicitly requesting
allocations. Pre-existing allocations are already counted against the
request through mas_node_count_gfp(), but the allocations will not happen
if the MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag is set. This flag is meant to avoid
re-allocating in bulk allocation mode, and to detect issues with
preallocation calculations.
The MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag should also always be set on zero allocations
so that detection of underflow allocations will print a WARN_ON() during
consumption.
User visible effect of this flaw is a WARN_ON() followed by a null pointer
dereference when subsequent requests for larger number of nodes is
ignored, such as the vma merge retry in mmap_region() caused by drivers
altering the vma flags (which happens in v6.6, at least)
