null_zone_no() does sect >> ilog2(dev->zone_size_sects). When zone_size_sects is 0, ilog2(0) returns -1, producing shift exponent -1 which UBSAN reports as shift-out-of-bounds. UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c:21:14 shift exponent -1 is negative Call Trace: null_zone_no drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c:21 [inline] null_process_zoned_cmd+0xf76/0xf80 drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c:728 null_handle_cmd drivers/block/null_blk/main.c:1455 [inline] null_queue_rq+0x8bc/0xe70 drivers/block/null_blk/main.c:1703 __blk_mq_issue_directly block/blk-mq.c:2694 [inline] blk_mq_try_issue_directly+0x3f4/0x880 block/blk-mq.c:2754 blk_mq_submit_bio+0x20c0/0x2a40 block/blk-mq.c:3208 submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x2f4/0xa40 block/blk-core.c:790 block_read_full_folio+0x7a6/0x810 fs/buffer.c:2463 filemap_read_folio+0x12c/0x3a0 mm/filemap.c:2510 read_part_sector+0xb6/0x2b0 block/partitions/core.c:724 adfspart_check_ICS+0xb1/0x960 block/partitions/acorn.c:357 check_partition block/partitions/core.c:143 [inline] blk_add_partitions block/partitions/core.c:591 [inline] bdev_disk_changed+0x851/0x17a0 block/partitions/core.c:695 blkdev_get_whole+0x372/0x510 block/bdev.c:751 add_disk_final block/genhd.c:412 [inline] add_disk_fwnode+0x24b/0x3a0 block/genhd.c:606 null_add_dev+0x130b/0x1d70 drivers/block/null_blk/main.c:2052 nullb_device_power_store+0x240/0x380 drivers/block/null_blk/main.c:501 configfs_write_iter+0x337/0x430 fs/configfs/file.c:229 Syzkaller triggers this by creating a zoned null_blk device via configfs. The Call Trace shows configfs_write_iter in configfs/file.c handling a write to power file, which calls nullb_device_power_store in main.c, which calls null_add_dev in main.c, which calls add_disk in genhd.c, which triggers partition scan via bdev_disk_changed in partitions/core.c. A zoned null_blk device with zone_size 0 should not be legal. Existing code tries to reject it via is_power_of_2() check in zoned.c and !zone_size check in main.c, but syzkaller can still reach null_zone_no() with zone_size_sects 0 via two paths: 1. Direct 0 via configfs: zone_size attribute store in main.c has NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR(zone_size, ulong, NULL) with no validation callback, so echo 0 > zone_size succeeds before power store. If zoned is false at power store time, the !zone_size check in main.c is skipped, and later zoned set true leaves zone_size 0. 2. Large value overflow: mb_to_sects() in zoned.c does (sector_t)mb * SZ_1M >> SECTOR_SHIFT which is mb * 2048. If mb is 1UL << 53 (9PB), mb * 2048 overflows 64-bit to 0. The value is power-of-two so is_power_of_2() passes, but mb_to_sects() returns 0. Check for zero zone_size explicitly in null_init_zoned_dev() in zoned.c, returning -EINVAL with "must be non-zero power-of-two". Check for zero zone_size_sects after mb_to_sects() conversion, returning -EINVAL for overflow case. Keep defensive check in null_zone_no() returning 0 for zero sectors to avoid shift out-of-bounds even if zero slips through. This change should be safe because zone_size is set once in null_init_zoned_dev() under device lock and never changes after, and 0 is never valid for a zoned device. Returning -EINVAL at init time fails device creation early with clear error, while defensive return 0 in null_zone_no() makes zoned command fail via offline zone check. No new locking is introduced.
