Subject: [PATCH v2] md/raid0: validate device count before allocating devlist
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 00:14:06 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906184406.2141-1-chandradhar.2003@gmail.com> (raw)

create_strip_zones() allocates conf->devlist based on mddev->raid_disks
before verifying that enough devices are present. Validate the number of
member devices before allocating devlist to reject invalid
configurations early.

The existing validation later in the function already rejects this
condition, but it occurs after the potentially excessive allocation.

Reported-by: syzbot+a32ff75e417c0f49a8e9@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzbot.org/bug?extid=a32ff75e417c0f49a8e9
Signed-off-by: Chandradhar Kumar <chandradhar.2003@gmail.com>

v2:
- Reject non-positive raid-disks values, which can bypass the device
  count validation and result in an oversized allocation.
