[PATCH] block: make bio_check_eod work for zero sized devices

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

 



commit 3eb96946f0be6bf447cbdf219aba22bc42672f92 upstream

Since the dawn of time bio_check_eod has a check for a non-zero size of
the device.  This doesn't really make any sense as we never want to send
I/O to a device that's been set to zero size, or never moved out of that.

I am a bit surprised we haven't caught this for a long time, but the
removal of the extra validation inside of zram caused syzbot to trip
over this issue recently.  I've added a Fixes tag for that commit, but
the issue really goes back way before git history.
