[PATCH] null_blk: fix validation of block size
Posted by Andreas Hindborg 1 year, 8 months ago 
From: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@samsung.com>

Block size should be between 512 and 4096 and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.

Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].

Please use is_power_of_2() instead of open-coding it.

Or PAGE_SIZE?

Looks like blk_validate_block_size(), modulo PAGE_SIZE check

Cool, I will use that instead.

PAGE_SIZE can be larger than 4096. But most drives are 512 or 4096 LBA-sized.

Not PAGE_SIZE...

null_blk is not a physical device. Hence, why not to use 
blk_validate_block_size() here?

Thanks,

Bart.

Sure, but maybe someone wants larger than 4096, like the LBS support.

Having said that, is there LBS support for nullb? I don't think so. I 
assume that PAGE_SIZE or 4096 limit would need to go for that.

Cheers,
John
