[PATCH 2/2] zram: fix out-of-bounds access in read_block_state()
From: Longlong Xia
Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 03:09:24 EST
From: Longlong Xia <xialonglong@xxxxxxxxxx>
read_block_state() calculates nr_pages before taking dev_lock. If the
device is reset and reinitialized with a smaller disksize before lock
acquisition, nr_pages still describes the old table. The subsequent
loop can then call slot_lock() past the end of the newly allocated
table.
Read disksize after acquiring dev_lock and checking that the device is
initialized. The read lock then keeps the table and its bound stable for
the duration of the scan.
