Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:57:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442235476-31837-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.:
string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to
divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end
up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations:
For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case:
...
remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1
remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512
...
size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0
size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0
The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was noticed
on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning collides
with device removal. This is probably a separate issue worth fixing, this
patch is intended to prevent the library routing from infinite looping.
