Subject: [PATCH v2] nvme: skip the zoned limits update if the zone info query failed
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:17:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816191729.2865523-1-coshi036@gmail.com> (raw)
nvme_query_zone_info() returns either a negative errno or a positive
NVMe status code, but nvme_update_ns_info_block() only tests for the
negative case:
ret = nvme_query_zone_info(ns, lbaf, &zi);
if (ret < 0)
goto out;
If the device fails the Identify Namespace (I/O Command Set specific)
command, or the Identify Controller command issued by
nvme_set_max_append(), the positive status falls through and setup
continues with the zero-initialized zone info. nvme_update_zone_info()
then marks the queue zoned with chunk_sectors and ns->head->zsze set to
zero.
blk_validate_zoned_limits() does not check chunk_sectors, so the limits
commit succeeds. blk_revalidate_disk_zones() does reject the zero zone
size, but by then the limits are live and nothing rolls them back, so
I/O keeps being submitted to a zoned queue with a zero zone size and
disk_zone_no() shifts by ilog2(0):
nvme0n1: Invalid non power of two zone size (0)
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in include/linux/blkdev.h:747:16
shift exponent -1 is negative
disk_zone_no include/linux/blkdev.h:747 [inline]
bio_straddles_zones include/linux/blkdev.h:1058 [inline]

submit_bh_wbc+0x575/0x740 fs/buffer.c:2824
__block_write_full_folio+0x728/0xdd0 fs/buffer.c:1933
Any device, firmware or NVMe-oF target that fails this one command
reaches this.
Skip the zoned limits update in that case. The namespace stays
registered and usable for admin commands, but the queue is not
configured from zone info that was never read.
zi.zone_size is an exact indicator: every path that returns a positive
status returns before it is assigned, and after that the only failure
left is -ENODEV, which the caller already handles.

Changes since v1:
- Only skip the zoned limits instead of failing the update, as
suggested by Keith.
- Gate on zi.zone_size, not zi.max_open_zones, where 0 is legal
(reasoning in my reply on v1).
- Drop the "malicious device" wording.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20260814160954.2839507-1-coshi036@gmail.com/
