[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2] fs: gfs2: add validation checks for size of superblock

[Anant Thazhemadam <anant.thazhemadam@gmail.com>]

In gfs2_check_sb(), no validation checks are performed with regards to
the size of the superblock.
syzkaller detected a slab-out-of-bounds bug that was primarily caused
because the block size for a superblock was set to zero.
A valid size for a superblock is a power of 2 between 512 and PAGE_SIZE.
Performing validation checks and ensuring that the size of the superblock
is valid fixes this bug.

Changes in v2:

	* Completely dropped the changes proposed in v1. Instead,
	  validity checks for superblock size have been introduced. 
	  (Suggested by Andrew Price<anprice@redhat.com>)

	* Addded a "Suggested-by" tag accrediting the patch idea to
	  Andrew. If there's any issue with that, please let me know.

	* Changed the commit header and commit message appropriately.

	* Updated "Reported-by" and "Tested-by" tags to the same instance
	  of the bug that was detected earlier (non consequential change).
