When userspace writes a value close to U64_MAX (such as (u64)-1) to the
sysfs attribute /sys/block/zram<id>/disksize, disksize_store() parses it
with memparse() and then calls:
disksize = PAGE_ALIGN(disksize);
Because adding PAGE_SIZE - 1 to values in the range
[U64_MAX - PAGE_SIZE + 2, U64_MAX] causes an integer overflow wrapping
to 0, disksize becomes 0. disksize_store() then passes 0 to
zram_meta_alloc(), which computes num_pages = 0 and calls vzalloc(0).
In mm/vmalloc.c, __vmalloc_node_range_noprof() checks
`if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!size))` and triggers a kernel warning:
WARNING: mm/vmalloc.c:4038 at __vmalloc_node_range_noprof
Call trace:
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof
vzalloc_noprof
disksize_store
dev_attr_store
sysfs_kf_write
Fix this by checking if disksize wrapped to 0 after PAGE_ALIGN(disksize)
and returning -EINVAL. Also add a defensive check in zram_meta_alloc()
to return false if disksize is 0, avoiding vzalloc(0) under any
circumstance.
