Subject: mke2fs: Avoid crashes / infinite loops for absurdly large devices
X-Git-Tag: v1.43.4~32

mke2fs: Avoid crashes / infinite loops for absurdly large devices

When a device reports absurdly high size, some arithmetics in mke2fs can
overflow (e.g. number of block descriptors) and we end in an infinite
loop. Fix that by checking and refusing insanely large devices.
