In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix exchmaps reservation limit check
xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead() adds the bmbt and rmapbt
overhead to a local resblks variable, but the final UINT_MAX
check still tests req->resblks. That is the reservation value
from before the overhead was added.
The computed value is stored back in req->resblks and later passed
to xfs_trans_alloc(), whose block reservation argument is unsigned
int. Check the computed reservation so the existing limit applies
to the value that will be used.
