[PATCH] reject corrupt swapfiles earlier
The fsfuzzer found this; with a corrupt small swapfile that claims to have many pages: [root]# file swap.741.img swap.741.img: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 1040191487 pages [root]# ls -l swap.741.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16777216 Nov 22 05:18 swap.741.img sys_swapon() will try to vmalloc all those pages, and -then- check to see if the file is actually that large: if (!(p->swap_map = vmalloc(maxpages * sizeof(short)))) { <snip> if (swapfilesize && maxpages > swapfilesize) { printk(KERN_WARNING "Swap area shorter than signature indicates\n"); It seems to me that it would make more sense to move this test up before the vmalloc, with the other checks, to avoid the OOM-killer in this situation...
