Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] nvmet: reject keep-alive timeouts that would overflow
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 10:56:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114154530.3477922-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109202739-failed-5.10-96ae13f40ce5@kernel.org>
From: Yingjie Wang <1075151112@qq.com>
[ Upstream commit 96ae13f40ce5930cd58c43128e385131476f2a66 ]
nvmet_set_feat_kato() and nvmet_alloc_ctrl() convert the 32-bit
millisecond KATO from the host to seconds with DIV_ROUND_UP(kato, 1000).
The addition in DIV_ROUND_UP() is done in 32 bits, so any KATO above
4294966296 ms wraps around and rounds to 0 seconds. A Set Features
command with KATO 0xffffffff then succeeds but disables the keep-alive
timer: Get Features returns 0 and Keep Alive fails with Keep Alive
Timeout Invalid. A Connect command with such a KATO creates a controller
without a keep-alive timer.
The converted value has more consumers that can overflow. Get Features
multiplies it by 1000, and the timer paths multiply it by HZ in 32 bits
and arm a delay that must not exceed MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET.
Reject a KATO whose rounded value does not fit all of these. Return Keep
Alive Timeout Invalid from both Set Features and Connect. Validate Set
Features before stopping the current timer so a failed update leaves its
timeout unchanged. Round in 64 bits. A KATO of 0 keeps its current
meaning.
Fixes: a07b4970f464 ("nvmet: add a generic NVMe target")
