[ Upstream commit ced9e191501e52b95e1b57b8e0db00943869eed0 ]
pool can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/atm/zatm.c:1491 zatm_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'zatm_dev->pool_info' (local cap)
Fix this by sanitizing pool before using it to index zatm_dev->pool_info
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
