6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Genjian Zhang commit 7ac81e2d2240f2c57bd073b0733e0b2abca38e82 upstream. is a backing-device sector offset; ti->len is the virtual target length. Comparing them rejects valid tables, e.g.: dmsetup create ebs0 --table "0 1048576 ebs /dev/sda 2097152 1 8" -> ebs: Invalid device offset sector (-EINVAL) Drop the check. Bounds against the backing device are already enforced later by device_area_is_invalid() via ebs_iterate_devices().
