mm/mmap.c: fix arithmetic overflow in __vm_enough_memory()
commit
5703b087dc8eaf47bfb399d6cf512d471beff405 upstream.
I noticed, that "allowed" can easily overflow by falling below 0,
because (total_vm / 32) can be larger than "allowed". The problem
occurs in OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode.
In this case, a huge allocation can success and overcommit the system
(despite OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode). All subsequent allocations will fall
(system-wide), so system become unusable.
The problem was masked out by commit
c9b1d0981fcc
("mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve"),
but it's easy to reproduce it on older kernels:
1) set overcommit_memory sysctl to 2
2) mmap() large file multiple times (with VM_SHARED flag)
3) try to malloc() large amount of memory
It also can be reproduced on newer kernels, but miss-configured
sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes is required.
Fix this issue by switching to signed arithmetic here.
