Hi, This has triggered in 5.10.77 yesterday [1], and I was able to reproduce it on 5.10.80 using the C repro from android-54 [2]. What happens is that the function do_mpage_readpage() calls bdev_read_page() [3] passing in bdev == NULL, and bdev_read_page() crashes here [4]. This happens in 5.15 down to 5.10, but it is fixed in 5.16-rc1. I bisected it to the first good commit, which is:
af3c570fb0df ("loop: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size")
The root cause seems to be loss of precision in loop_configure(), when it calls loop_validate_block_size() in [5]. The config->block_size is an uint32 and the bsize param passed to loop_validate_block_size() is unsigned short. The reproducer sets up a loop device with the block size equal to 0x20000400, which is bigger than USHRT_MAX. The loop_validate_block_size() returns 0, but uses the invalid size to setup the device. The new helper changes the bsize param type to uint, and the issue goes away.
To fix this for the older kernels can we please have the two commits:
570b1cac4776 ("block: Add a helper to validate the block size") af3c570fb0df ("loop: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size")
applied to 5.15, 5.14, and 5.10. The first one needs to be back ported, but the second applies cleanly. I will follow up back ports for each version in few minutes.
