From: Yu Kuai <[email protected]> Sashiko reported that RAID5 can accept a reshape chunk size that becomes zero sectors. chunk_size_store() stores the sysfs byte value as n >> 9, so writing a value below 512 bytes sets mddev->new_chunk_sectors to zero. RAID5 then accepted that pending reshape geometry and raid5_start_reshape() installed it into conf->chunk_sectors, letting reshape code divide by zero. Reject zero-sector chunks both in check_reshape(), where normal sysfs requests are validated, and in raid5_start_reshape(), so assembly/resume paths also cannot install zero chunk geometry. Test script: in QEMU, create a plain three-disk RAID5 array with 64K chunks, write/read back a small pattern, write 1 to /sys/block/md0/md/chunk_size, add a fourth disk, and run mdadm --grow --raid-devices=4 --backup-file=... . The script scans dmesg for divide error/Oops/KASAN signatures.
