commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")
ERROR: modpost: "__divdi3" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined!
As Stephen Rothwell notes:
The added check_mul_overflow() call is being passed 64 bit values.
COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW is not set for this build (see
include/linux/overflow.h).
Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.
This was fixed upstream by
commit 76ae847497bc ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
GCC to 5.1")
which is not suitable to be backported to stable.
Further, __builtin_mul_overflow() would emit a libcall to a
compiler-rt-only symbol when compiling with clang < 14 for 32b targets.
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __mulodi4
In order to keep stable buildable with GCC 4.9 and clang < 14, modify
struct nbd_config to instead track the number of bits of the block size;
reconstructing the block size using runtime checked shifts that are not
problematic for those compilers and in a ways that can be backported to
stable.
In nbd_set_size, we do validate that the value of blksize must be a
power of two (POT) and is in the range of [512, PAGE_SIZE] (both
inclusive).
This does modify the debugfs interface.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
