[PATCH V2] brd: check parameter validation before register_blkdev func

From: Zhiqiang Liu
Date: Mon Jan 13 2020 - 08:43:37 EST


In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated
and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each
brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device,
the disk->first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part
is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same
devt, then only one of them can be successfully added.
when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit.

Follow those steps:
# modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576
# rmmod brd
then, the oops will appear.

Oops log:

Here, we add brd_check_par_valid func to check parameter
validation before register_blkdev func.

--
V1->V2: add more checks in brd_check_par_valid as suggested by Ming Lei.
