In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix missing xas_retry() calls in xarray iteration
netfslib has a number of places in which it performs iteration of an xarray
whilst being under the RCU read lock. It *should* call xas_retry() as the
first thing inside of the loop and do "continue" if it returns true in case
the xarray walker passed out a special value indicating that the walk needs
to be redone from the root[*].
Fix this by adding the missing retry checks.
[*] I wonder if this should be done inside xas_find(), xas_next_node() and
suchlike, but I'm told that's not an simple change to effect.
This can cause an oops like that below. Note the faulting address - this
is an internal value (|0x2) returned from xarray.

Changes:
========
ver #2)
- Changed an unsigned int to a size_t to reduce the likelihood of an
overflow as per Willy's suggestion.
- Added an additional patch to fix the maths.
