[PATCH] [v2] block: fix FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP parsing in blkdev_common_ioctl()

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Jul 11 2025 - 04:47:33 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Anders and Naresh found that the addition of the FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP
handling in the blockdev ioctl handler breaks all ioctls with
_IOC_NR==2, as the new command is not added to the switch but only
a few of the command bits are check.

Move the check into the blk_get_meta_cap() function itself and make
it return -ENOIOCTLCMD for any unsupported command code, including
those with a smaller size that previously returned -EINVAL.

For consistency this also drops the check for NULL 'arg' that
is really useless, as any invalid pointer should return -EFAULT.

Fixes: 9eb22f7fedfc ("fs: add ioctl to query metadata and protection info capabilities")

v2: add the check in blk-integrity.c instead of ioctl.c

I've left out the maximum-size check this time, as there was no
consensus on whether there should be one, or what value.

We still need to come up with a better way of handling these in
general, for now the patch just addresses the immediate regression
that Naresh found.

I have also sent a handful of patches for other drivers that have
variations of the same bug.
