Recently introduced code allows numa nodes to be specified on the kernel command line for hugetlb allocations or CMA reservations. The node values are user specified and used as indicies into arrays. This generated the following smatch warnings: mm/hugetlb.c:4170 hugepages_setup() warn: potential spectre issue 'default_hugepages_in_node' [w] mm/hugetlb.c:4172 hugepages_setup() warn: potential spectre issue 'parsed_hstate->max_huge_pages_node' [w] mm/hugetlb.c:6898 cmdline_parse_hugetlb_cma() warn: potential spectre issue 'hugetlb_cma_size_in_node' [w] (local cap) Clean up by using array_index_nospec to sanitize array indicies. The routine cmdline_parse_hugetlb_cma has the same overflow/truncation issue addressed in [1]. That is also fixed with this change.

But the patch suppresses the warnings.

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.
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.
