Subject: [PATCH 5.10 10/24] romfs: check sb_set_blocksize() return value
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:31:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217200001.108454219@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217200000.708219618@linuxfoundation.org>
5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit ab7ad7abb3660c58ffffdf07ff3bb976e7e0afa0 ]
romfs_fill_super() ignores the return value of sb_set_blocksize(), which
can fail if the requested block size is incompatible with the block
device's configuration.
This can be triggered by setting a loop device's block size larger than
PAGE_SIZE using ioctl(LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE, 32768), then mounting a romfs
filesystem on that device.
When sb_set_blocksize(sb, ROMBSIZE) is called with ROMBSIZE=4096 but the
device has logical_block_size=32768, bdev_validate_blocksize() fails
because the requested size is smaller than the device's logical block
size. sb_set_blocksize() returns 0 (failure), but romfs ignores this and
continues mounting.
The superblock's block size remains at the device's logical block size
(32768). Later, when sb_bread() attempts I/O with this oversized block
size, it triggers a kernel BUG in folio_set_bh():
kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c:1582!
BUG_ON(size > PAGE_SIZE);
Fix by checking the return value of sb_set_blocksize() and failing the
mount with -EINVAL if it returns 0.
