bcache: check and adjust logical block size for backing devices
It's possible for a block driver to set logical block size to
a value greater than page size incorrectly; e.g. bcache takes
the value from the superblock, set by the user w/ make-bcache.
This causes a BUG/NULL pointer dereference in the path:
__blkdev_get()
-> set_init_blocksize() // set i_blkbits based on ...
-> bdev_logical_block_size()
-> queue_logical_block_size() // ... this value
-> bdev_disk_changed()
...
-> blkdev_readpage()
-> block_read_full_page()
-> create_page_buffers() // size = 1 << i_blkbits
-> create_empty_buffers() // give size/take pointer
-> alloc_page_buffers() // return NULL
.. BUG!
Because alloc_page_buffers() is called with size > PAGE_SIZE,
thus it initializes head = NULL, skips the loop, return head;
then create_empty_buffers() gets (and uses) the NULL pointer.
This has been around longer than commit ad6bf88 ("block:
fix an integer overflow in logical block size"); however, it
increased the range of values that can trigger the issue.
Previously only 8k/16k/32k (on x86/4k page size) would do it,
as greater values overflow unsigned short to zero, and queue_
logical_block_size() would then use the default of 512.
Now the range with unsigned int is much larger, and users w/
the 512k value, which happened to be zero'ed previously and
work fine, started to hit this issue -- as the zero is gone,
and queue_logical_block_size() does return 512k (>PAGE_SIZE.)
Fix this by checking the bcache device's logical block size,
and if it's greater than page size, fallback to the backing/
cached device's logical page size.
This doesn't affect cache devices as those are still checked
for block/page size in read_super(); only the backing/cached
devices are not.
Apparently it's a regression from commit 2903381 ("bcache:
Take data offset from the bdev superblock."), moving the check
into BCACHE_SB_VERSION_CDEV only. Now that we have superblocks
of backing devices out there with this larger value, we cannot
refuse to load them (i.e., have a similar check in _BDEV.)
Ideally perhaps bcache should use all values from the backing
device (physical/logical/io_min block size)? But for now just
fix the problematic case.
Test-case:
# IMG=/root/disk.img
# dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMG bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
# DEV=$(losetup --find --show $IMG)
# make-bcache --bdev $DEV --block 8k
