commit b1bf2de07271932326af847a3c6a01fdfd29d4be upstream.

Fix a boundary condition that caused failure for certain device sizes.

The problem is reported at
  http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=160

For certain device sizes the number of hashes at a specific level was
calculated incorrectly.

It happens for example for a device with data and metadata block size 4096
that has 16385 blocks and algorithm sha256.

The user can test if he is affected by this bug by running the
"veritysetup verify" command and also by activating the dm-verity kernel
driver and reading the whole block device. If it passes without an error,
then the user is not affected.

The condition for the bug is:

Split the total number of data blocks (data_block_bits) into bit strings,
each string has hash_per_block_bits bits. hash_per_block_bits is
rounddown(log2(metadata_block_size/hash_digest_size)). Equivalently, you
can say that you convert data_blocks_bits to 2^hash_per_block_bits base.

If there some zero bit string below the most significant bit string and at
least one bit below this zero bit string is set, then the bug happens.

The same bug exists in the userspace veritysetup tool, so you must use
fixed veritysetup too if you want to use devices that are affected by
this boundary condition.

commit 1d55f6bcc0331d744cd5b56c4ee79e3809438161 upstream.

This patch fixes sector_t overflow checking in dm-verity.

Without this patch, the code checks for overflow only if sector_t is
smaller than long long, not if sector_t and long long have the same size.

This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that transparently
validates the data on one underlying device against a pre-generated tree
of cryptographic checksums stored on a second device.

Two checksum device formats are supported: version 0 which is already
shipping in Chromium OS and version 1 which incorporates some
improvements.
