    posix-timer: Don't call idr_find() with out-of-range ID · e182bb38
    Tejun Heo authored
    When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID
    ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and
    move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers
    a WARN_ON_ONCE().
    
    __lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find()
    without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions.  Add a
    range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer().
    
    While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew
    worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on.  Make the
    test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to
    not return the wrong timer.
    
    Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional
    precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB.  Once it's gone we can
    remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.
