commitc716a25b9bupstream. scan_pkey_feature() uses of_property_read_u32_array() to read the ibm,processor-storage-keys property and calls be32_to_cpu() on the value it gets. The problem is that of_property_read_u32_array() already returns the value converted to the CPU byte order. The value of pkeys_total ends up more or less sane because there's a min() call in pkey_initialize() which reduces pkeys_total to 32. So in practice the kernel ignores the fact that the hypervisor reserved one key for itself (the device tree advertises 31 keys in my test VM). This is wrong, but the effect in practice is that when a process tries to allocate the 32nd key, it gets an -EINVAL error instead of -ENOSPC which would indicate that there aren't any keys available Fixes:cf43d3b264("powerpc: Enable pkey subsystem") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.16+ Signed-off-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
