Hello Ananda,
The patch 9097e28c25c8: "mm: add zblock - new allocator for use via
zpool API" from Nov 4, 2022, leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:
mm/zblock.c:341 zblock_alloc() error: buffer overflow 'block_desc' 29 <= 29 (assuming for loop doesn't break)

"size" is always <= PAGE_SIZE. Is PAGE_SIZE always 4k? If so then this
code is fine. Smatch is bad at handling arrays.
PAGE_SIZE is 8kB on SPARC/Alpha. It can be 64kB on PPC and ARM. It can
even be 256kB on one of the weirdo architectures (but, honestly, it's
OK if that breaks; it's not well-tested)..
The block_desc table uses fractions of PAGE_SIZE, so with larger
PAGE_SIZE, the size of slots will also increase. Should work fine with a
page size of 8, 64, 256k.
