The truncated\nvalue is then used to calculate bitset_size, causing clean_bits,\nsync_bits, and recovering_bits to be allocated far smaller than needed\nfor the actual number of regions.\n\nSubsequent log operations (log_set_bit, log_clear_bit, log_test_bit) use\nregion indices derived from the full untruncated region space, causing\nout-of-bounds writes to kernel heap memory allocated by vmalloc.\n\nThis can be reproduced by creating a mirror target whose region_count\noverflows 32 bits:\n\n  dmsetup create bigzero --table '0 8589934594 zero'\n  dmsetup create mymirror --table '0 8589934594 mirror \\\n    core 2 2 nosync 2 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0 \\\n    /dev/mapper/bigzero 0'\n\nThe status output confirms the truncation (sync_count=1 instead of\n4294967297, because 0x100000001 was truncated to 1):\n\n  $ dmsetup status mymirror\n  0 8589934594 mirror 2 254:1 254:1 1/4294967297 ...\n\nThis leads to a kernel crash in core_in_sync:\n\n  BUG: scheduling while atomic:
