4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 5b9554dc5bf008ae7f68a52e3d7e76c0920938a2 upstream.
If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for
ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an
uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory. Add the
same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than
blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in
ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after
the file system is mounted.
