dm snapshot: fix crash with transient storage and zero chunk size
commit c699a0db2d62e3bbb7f0bf35c87edbc8d23e3062 upstream. The following commands will crash the kernel: modprobe brd rd_size=1048576 dmsetup create o --table "0 `blockdev --getsize /dev/ram0` snapshot-origin /dev/ram0" dmsetup create s --table "0 `blockdev --getsize /dev/ram0` snapshot /dev/ram0 /dev/ram1 N 0" The reason is that when we test for zero chunk size, we jump to the label bad_read_metadata without setting the "r" variable. The function snapshot_ctr destroys all the structures and then exits with "r == 0". The kernel then crashes because it falsely believes that snapshot_ctr succeeded. In order to fix the bug, we set the variable "r" to -EINVAL. Signed-off-by:Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
