    block: nbd: add sanity check for first_minor · b1a81163
    Pavel Skripkin authored
    Syzbot hit WARNING in internal_create_group(). The problem was in
    too big disk->first_minor.
    
    disk->first_minor is initialized by value, which comes from userspace
    and there wasn't any sanity checks about value correctness. It can cause
    duplicate creation of sysfs files/links, because disk->first_minor will
    be passed to MKDEV() which causes truncation to byte. Since maximum
    minor value is 0xff, let's check if first_minor is correct minor number.
    
    NOTE: the root case of the reported warning was in wrong error handling
    in register_disk(), but we can avoid passing knowingly wrong values to
    sysfs API, because sysfs error messages can confuse users. For example:
    user passed 1048576 as index, but sysfs complains about duplicate
    creation of /dev/block/43:0. It's not obvious how 1048576 becomes 0.
    Log and reproducer for above example can be found on syzkaller bug
    report page.
