Milan Broz ef87bfc24f dm: Check for device sector overflow if CONFIG_LBDAF is not set
Reference to a device in device-mapper table contains offset in sectors.

If the sector_t is 32bit integer (CONFIG_LBDAF is not set), then
several device-mapper targets can overflow this offset and validity
check is then performed on a wrong offset and a wrong table is activated.

See for example (on 32bit without CONFIG_LBDAF) this overflow:

  # dmsetup create test --table "0 2048 linear /dev/sdg 4294967297"
  # dmsetup table test
  0 2048 linear 8:96 1

This patch adds explicit check for overflow if the offset is sector_t type.

README

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.
