Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/xive/spapr: correct bitmap allocation size
kasan detects access beyond the end of the xibm->bitmap allocation:

The buggy address belongs to the object at c00000001d1d0118 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8 The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of 8-byte region [c00000001d1d0118, c00000001d1d0120)
The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page:c00c000000074740 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0xc00000001d1d0558 pfn:0x1d1d flags: 0x7ffff000000200(slab|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x7ffff) raw: 007ffff000000200 c00000001d0003c8 c00000001d0003c8 c00000001d010480 raw: c00000001d1d0558 0000000001e1000a 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

This happens because the allocation uses the wrong unit (bits) when it should pass (BITS_TO_LONGS(count) * sizeof(long)) or equivalent. With small numbers of bits, the allocated object can be smaller than sizeof(long), which results in invalid accesses.
Use bitmap_zalloc() to allocate and initialize the irq bitmap, paired with bitmap_free() for consistency.
