Subject: [PATCH] target: Avoid integer overflow in se_dev_align_max_sectors()
X-Extended-Stable: 3.5
commit 3e03989b5868acf69a391a424dc71fcd6cc48167 upstream.
The expression (max_sectors * block_size) might overflow a u32
(indeed, since iblock sets max_hw_sectors to UINT_MAX, it is
guaranteed to overflow and end up with a much-too-small result in many
common cases). Fix this by doing an equivalent calculation that
doesn't require multiplication.
While we're touching this code, avoid splitting a printk format across
two lines and use pr_info(...) instead of printk(KERN_INFO ...).
