[PATCH RESEND V2] block: fix BLKSECDISCARD zero-length range causing page cache invalidation
From: Zizhi Wo
Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 03:15:37 EST
From: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@xxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 697ba0b6ec4a ("block: fix integer overflow in BLKSECDISCARD") fixed
the start+len overflow via check_add_overflow() but did not handle the
start=0, len=0 case. There, start + len = 0, so end = 0 passes all checks,
and truncate_bdev_range()->truncate_inode_pages_range() is then called with
lend=UINT64_MAX, whitch is the "truncate to the end of file" sentinel, so
the entire page cache is invalidated.
Fix this by replacing the validation with blk_validate_byte_range(), which
already rejects a zero-length range and is what BLKDISCARD uses. This also
switches the alignment check from a hardcoded 512 to
bdev_logical_block_size().
Fixes: 0bd1ed4860d0 ("block: pass inclusive 'lend' parameter to truncate_inode_pages_range")
