Subject: [PATCH v2] loop: fix setting arbitrarily large block size
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2021 13:54:06 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210626082406.348821-1-chouhan.shreyansh630@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210623050933.140572-1-chouhan.shreyansh630@gmail.com>

loop_validate_block_size took an unsigned short argument. Passing an
argument with size greater than the size of unsigned short would cause
an overflow and could potentially render the upper bound check on the
block size useless, allowing to set an arbitrarily large block size.
