    iomap: Fix negative assignment to unsigned sis->pages in iomap_swapfile_activate · 5808fecc
    Ritesh Harjani authored
    In case if isi.nr_pages is 0, we are making sis->pages (which is
    unsigned int) a huge value in iomap_swapfile_activate() by assigning -1.
    This could cause a kernel crash in kernel v4.18 (with below signature).
    Or could lead to unknown issues on latest kernel if the fake big swap gets
    used.
    
    Fix this issue by returning -EINVAL in case of nr_pages is 0, since it
    is anyway a invalid swapfile. Looks like this issue will be hit when
    we have pagesize < blocksize type of configuration.
    
    I was able to hit the issue in case of a tiny swap file with below
    test script.

    kernel crash analysis on v4.18
    ==============================
    On v4.18 kernel, it causes a kernel panic, since sis->pages becomes
    a huge value and isi.nr_extents is 0. When 0 is returned it is
    considered as a swapfile over NFS and SWP_FILE is set (sis->flags |= SWP_FILE).
    Then when swapoff was getting called it was calling a_ops->swap_deactivate()
    if (sis->flags & SWP_FILE) is true. Since a_ops->swap_deactivate() is
    NULL in case of XFS, it causes below panic.
    
    Panic signature on v4.18 kernel:
