[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-zoned: Fix zone report handling

[Damien Le Moal]

The function blkdev_report_zones() returns success even if no zone
information is reported (empty report). Empty zone reports can only
happen if the report start sector passed exceeds the device capacity.
The conditions for this to happen are either a bug in the caller code,
or, a change in the device that forced the low level driver to change
the device capacity to a value that is lower than the report start
sector. This situation includes a failed disk revalidation resulting in
the disk capacity being changed to 0.

If this change happens while dm-zoned is in its initialization phase
executing dmz_init_zones(), this function may enter an infinite loop
and hang the system. To avoid this, add a check to disallow empty zone
reports and bail out early. Also fix the function dmz_update_zone() to
make sure that the report for the requested zone was correctly obtained.
