      bcache: check and adjust logical block size for backing devices · a277f856

      BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867916
      
      It's possible for a block driver to set logical block size to
      a value greater than page size incorrectly; e.g. bcache takes
      the value from the superblock, set by the user w/ make-bcache.
      
      This causes a BUG/NULL pointer dereference in the path:
      
        __blkdev_get()
        -> set_init_blocksize() // set i_blkbits based on ...
           -> bdev_logical_block_size()
              -> queue_logical_block_size() // ... this value
        -> bdev_disk_changed()
           ...
           -> blkdev_readpage()
              -> block_read_full_page()
                 -> create_page_buffers() // size = 1 << i_blkbits
                    -> create_empty_buffers() // give size/take pointer
                       -> alloc_page_buffers() // return NULL
                       .. BUG!
      
      Because alloc_page_buffers() is called with size > PAGE_SIZE,
      thus it initializes head = NULL, skips the loop, return head;
      then create_empty_buffers() gets (and uses) the NULL pointer.
      
      This has been around longer than commit ad6bf88a ("block:
      fix an integer overflow in logical block size"); however, it
      increased the range of values that can trigger the issue.
      
      Previously only 8k/16k/32k (on x86/4k page size) would do it,
      as greater values overflow unsigned short to zero, and queue_
      logical_block_size() would then use the default of 512.
      
      Now the range with unsigned int is much larger, and users w/
      the 512k value, which happened to be zero'ed previously and
      work fine, started to hit this issue -- as the zero is gone,
      and queue_logical_block_size() does return 512k (>PAGE_SIZE.)
      
      Fix this by checking the bcache device's logical block size,
      and if it's greater than page size, fallback to the backing/
      cached device's logical page size.
      
      This doesn't affect cache devices as those are still checked
      for block/page size in read_super(); only the backing/cached
      devices are not.
      
      Apparently it's a regression from commit 2903381f ("bcache:
      Take data offset from the bdev superblock."), moving the check
      into BCACHE_SB_VERSION_CDEV only. Now that we have superblocks
      of backing devices out there with this larger value, we cannot
      refuse to load them (i.e., have a similar check in _BDEV.)
      
      Ideally perhaps bcache should use all values from the backing
      device (physical/logical/io_min block size)? But for now just
      fix the problematic case.
      
      Test-case:
      
          # IMG=/root/disk.img
          # dd if=/dev/zero of=$IMG bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
          # DEV=$(losetup --find --show $IMG)
          # make-bcache --bdev $DEV --block 8k
            < see dmesg >
