bcache: check and adjust logical block size for backing devices
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.
