Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] virtio-mem: validate device-reported block size
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:41:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715164139.40957-1-harimishal1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715142337.22811-2-harimishal1@gmail.com>
The device_block_size read from the virtio-mem config space is used as a
divisor and also in ALIGN_DOWN() further down the code path in the
driver without further validation. A zero value leads to a division by
zero, and a non-power-of-two value corrupts the ALIGN_DOWN() bitmask
arithmetic leading to a misreporting of guest-usable ram, post crash.
Reject both at init time instead of trusting the device.
Signed-off-by: Hari Mishal <harimishal1@gmail.com>

v2: dropped the redundant explicit zero check, since
is_power_of_2(0) already returns false.
