[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH] dm: Check for device sector overflow if CONFIG_LBDAF is not set

Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors.

If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then
several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity
check is then performad on wrong offset and wrong table is activated.

See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow:

  # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297"
  # dmsetup table test
  0 2048 linear 8:96 1

In this patch I tried to add check for this problem to dm-linear and dm-crypt,
but I am sure there are more places and I am not sure this is the proper way.

Should we use uint64_t in DM internally for device offset instead?

There are probably some internal calculations in dm-table.c that
can overflow as well.

NOTE: it is a RFC patch that is incomplete (more targets need fixes).
