Subject: [PATCH 2/2] md: add defensive bounds check for bio in md_write_metadata()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:38:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917083820.57091-3-ndaugoing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917083820.57091-1-ndaugoing@gmail.com>

md_write_metadata() allocates a single-bvec bio via bio_alloc_bioset()
with nr_vecs = 1 and attaches a single page 'page' (either rdev->sb_page
or rdev->bb_page) via __bio_add_page(bio, page, size, offset).

Because the bio can only ever represent a single backing page, passing
a non-positive size or a length where offset + size > PAGE_SIZE is invalid
and can lead to out-of-bounds reads during I/O submission.

Add a defensive check in md_write_metadata() so that any oversized or
invalid request triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() and aborts before constructing
the bio.
