[PATCH] gfs2: valid the length of rgrp header

From: Edward Adam Davis

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 00:24:01 EST


When mounting a deliberately corrupted filesystem image, an excessively
large rgrp header length is used in a call to kzalloc_objs() within
compute_bitstructs(), and the memory allocator cannot handle such a large
allocation request. This triggers [1].

Add a check for the rgrp header length to avoid [1].
