dm-ploop: fix u32 overflow of the delta BAT byte size
This patch computes the header and BAT byte size in u64 via
ploop_nr_bat_clusters() and in ploop_read_delta_metadata(). It also
rejects headers and resizes whose hb_nr exceeds PLOOP_MAX_HB_NR.

[Severity: Medium]
Is the u64 conversion complete? ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr() in
dm-ploop.h still has the same wrap this patch fixes elsewhere:
static inline u32 ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr(u32 clu)
{
u64 byte;
byte = (clu + PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET) * sizeof(map_index_t);
return byte >> PAGE_SHIFT;
}
Here clu is u32 and PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET is int, so (clu + 16) is a 32-bit
value. It is multiplied by sizeof(map_index_t), a size_t. On a 32-bit
build size_t is 32 bits, so the product wraps for clu >= 2^30 - 16
before it is widened to u64 for byte. On 64-bit this does not wrap.
The sizes this patch now accepts reach that range. ploop_setup_metadata()
and ploop_resize() only reject sizes above PLOOP_MAX_HB_NR, which is
about 2^32 - 32. The commit message also describes m_Size >= 2^30 -
PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET as legal.
For such a size, the page count used by ploop_prealloc_md_pages() would
come from the wrapped helper:
ploop_prealloc_md_pages()
new_nr_pages = ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr(new_nr_bat_entries - 1) + 1;
nr_segs in ploop_read_delta_metadata() is now computed from the u64
size. Could nr_segs then exceed the number of md pages that were
preallocated?
If so, the rb_root_for_each_md_page() loop would fill only part of the
bvec array. The remaining bvecs, allocated with kvmalloc(), would be
passed uninitialised to vfs_iter_read().
init_be_iter() also takes last_page from the same helper:
init_be_iter()
u32 rem, last_page = ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr(nr_be - 1);
Could that give a wrong end index for large nr_be? Callers such as
ploop_md_page_find() users could also fail to find a page, and the
BUG_ON(!md) in the lookup path at the start of ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr()
callers would then be reachable.
Would it make sense to widen the operand in ploop_bat_clu_to_page_nr()
the same way, for example ((u64)clu + PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET) *
sizeof(map_index_t)? Alternatively, 32-bit builds could be limited to
sizes the helper can represent.
The delta header comes from an image file and resize is command-driven,
so the large m_Size can be supplied externally.
