ext4: validate s_reserved_gdt_blocks on mount
commit 5b9554dc5bf008ae7f68a52e3d7e76c0920938a2 upstream. If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory. Add the same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after the file system is mounted. Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Drop the second check in ext4_init_block_bitmap() since it can't return an error code - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
