Subject: [PATCH] loop, zloop: fix dma_alignment for large or unreported limits
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:42:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810164218.3721636-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
A file system sets STATX_DIOALIGN with zeroed alignments when the file
can't be used for direct I/O. The zero underflowed to UINT_MAX and
triggered a queue limits validation warning. Fall back to the block
device's limits when dio_mem_align isn't reported.
A file system with a block size larger than PAGE_SIZE may also report a
memory alignment that can't be expressed as a queue limit. File systems
fall back to buffered I/O for requests that don't meet their alignment,
so cap the reported limit to the largest possible value.
Fixes: 6c8dec275ccc ("loop: set dma_alignment from the backing file for direct I/O")
Fixes: c5059c1af2bd ("zloop: set dma_alignment from the backing files for direct I/O")
Reported-by: syzbot+ac00e7bf7ac8c91af921@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ac00e7bf7ac8c91af921
