![]() guard_bio_eod() can truncate a segment in bio to allow it to do IO on odd last sectors of a device. It already checks if the IO starts past EOD, but it does not consider the possibility of an IO request starting within device boundaries can contain more than one segment past EOD. In such cases, truncated_bytes can be bigger than PAGE_SIZE, and will underflow bvec->bv_len. Fix this by checking if truncated_bytes is lower than PAGE_SIZE. This situation has been found on filesystems such as isofs and vfat, which doesn't check the device size before mount, if the device is smaller than the filesystem itself, a readahead on such filesystem, which spans EOD, can trigger this situation, leading a call to zero_user() with a wrong size possibly corrupting memory. I didn't see any crash, or didn't let the system run long enough to check if memory corruption will be hit somewhere, but adding instrumentation to guard_bio_end() to check truncated_bytes size, was enough to see the error. The following script can trigger the error.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
