This happens because\nexpanding the fast device requires reloading the cache table for\ncache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new\nsize, and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the\nfirst resume, leading to the issue.\n\nReproduce steps:\n\n1. prepare component devices:\n\ndmsetup create cmeta --table \"0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0\"\ndmsetup create cdata --table \"0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192\"\ndmsetup create corig --table \"0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144\"\ndd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct\n\n2. load a cache table of 512 cache blocks, and deliberately expand the\n   fast device before resuming the cache, making the in-core data\n   structures inadequate.\n\ndmsetup create cache --notable\ndmsetup reload cache --table \"0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \\\n/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0\"\ndmsetup reload cdata --table \"0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192\"\ndmsetup resume cdata\ndmsetup resume cache\n\n3. suspend the cache to write out the in-core dirty bitset and hint\n   array, leading to out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset at offset\n   0x40:\n\ndmsetup suspend cache\n\nKASAN reports:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in is_dirty_callback+0x2b/0x80\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000085040 by task dmsetup/90\n\n  (...snip...)\n  The buggy address
