From 2ab7738102ad2ac77f1afafe916accff5683e9b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Abraham Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:29:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] swap: divide-by-zero when zero length swap file on ssd [ Upstream commit a06ad633a37c64a0cd4c229fc605cee8725d376e ] Calling swapon() on a zero length swap file on SSD can lead to a divide-by-zero. Although creating such files isn't possible with mkswap and they woud be considered invalid, it would be better for the swapon code to be more robust and handle this condition gracefully (return -EINVAL). Especially since the fix is small and straightforward. To help with wear leveling on SSD, the swapon syscall calculates a random position in the swap file using modulo p->highest_bit, which is set to maxpages - 1 in read_swap_header. If the swap file is zero length, read_swap_header sets maxpages=1 and last_page=0, resulting in p->highest_bit=0 and we divide-by-zero when we modulo p->highest_bit in swapon syscall. This can be prevented by having read_swap_header return zero if last_page is zero.
