Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: avoid invalid memory access via node_online(NUMA_NO_NODE)
KASAN reports:
[ 4.668325][ T0] BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in dmar_parse_one_rhsa (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:214 arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:226 include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:142 include/linux/nodemask.h:415 drivers/iommu/intel/dmar.c:497)

[ 4.694331][ T0] Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-5018D-FN4T/X10SDV-8C-TLN4F, BIOS 1.1 03/02/2016
[ 4.703196][ T0] Call Trace:
[ 4.706334][ T0] <TASK>
[ 4.709133][ T0] ? dmar_parse_one_rhsa (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:214 arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:226 include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:142 include/linux/nodemask.h:415 drivers/iommu/intel/dmar.c:497)
after converting the type of the first argument (@nr, bit number)
of arch_test_bit() from `long` to `unsigned long`[0].
Under certain conditions (for example, when ACPI NUMA is disabled
via command line), pxm_to_node() can return %NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).
It is valid 'magic' number of NUMA node, but not valid bit number
to use in bitops.
node_online() eventually descends to test_bit() without checking
for the input, assuming it's on caller side (which might be good
for perf-critical tasks). There, -1 becomes %ULONG_MAX which leads
to an insane array index when calculating bit position in memory.
For now, add an explicit check for @node being not %NUMA_NO_NODE
before calling test_bit(). The actual logics didn't change here
at all.
