mainlining shenanigans
b1a811633f
Syzbot hit WARNING in internal_create_group(). The problem was in
too big disk->first_minor.
disk->first_minor is initialized by value, which comes from userspace
and there wasn't any sanity checks about value correctness. It can cause
duplicate creation of sysfs files/links, because disk->first_minor will
be passed to MKDEV() which causes truncation to byte. Since maximum
minor value is 0xff, let's check if first_minor is correct minor number.
NOTE: the root case of the reported warning was in wrong error handling
in register_disk(), but we can avoid passing knowingly wrong values to
sysfs API, because sysfs error messages can confuse users. For example:
user passed 1048576 as index, but sysfs complains about duplicate
creation of /dev/block/43:0. It's not obvious how 1048576 becomes 0.
Log and reproducer for above example can be found on syzkaller bug
report page.

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.
