[PATCH 6/6] Squashfs: add mount time sanity check for block_sizeand block_log match

From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Fri Mar 09 2012 - 21:57:02 EST



Squashfs currently has a sanity check for block_size less than or
equal to the maximum block_size (1 Mbyte). This catches some
superblock corruption, but obviously with a block_size maximum
of 1 Mbyte there's 7 correct values (4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, ... etc) and
a lot of incorrect values which are not caught by this check.

The Squashfs superblock, however, has both a block_size and
a block_log (2^block_log == block_size). Checking that the block_size
matches the block_log is a much more robust check. Corruption of the
superblock is unlikely to produce values which match, and it also
ensures the block_size is an exact power of two.
