If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d8b90d600aff181936457f032d116dbd8534db06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ewan D. Milne" <emilne@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 15:56:57 -0500 Subject: nvme: check for valid nvme_identify_ns() before using it From: Ewan D. Milne <emilne@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d8b90d600aff181936457f032d116dbd8534db06 upstream. When scanning namespaces, it is possible to get valid data from the first call to nvme_identify_ns() in nvme_alloc_ns(), but not from the second call in nvme_update_ns_info_block(). In particular, if the NSID becomes inactive between the two commands, a storage device may return a buffer filled with zero as per 4.1.5.1. In this case, we can get a kernel crash due to a divide-by-zero in blk_stack_limits() because ns->lba_shift will be set to zero.

Fix this by checking in both callers.
