[PATCH 4/4] virtio-blk: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The block layer can't support the block size larger than
page size yet. If an untrusted device presents an invalid
block size in configuration space, it will result in the
kernel crash something like below:

[  506.154324] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

So this patch tries to use the block layer helper to
validate the block size.
