From a23cc8257ecdfdeb25fd26d25fec4539ef377944 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Chen Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:17:57 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] dm clone: drop redundant size checks The clone target already exposes both source and destination devices via clone_iterate_devices(), so dm-table's device_area_is_invalid() helper ensures that the mapping does not extend past either underlying block device. The manual comparisons between ti->len and the source/destination device sizes in parse_source_dev() and parse_dest_dev() are therefore redundant. Remove these checks and rely on the core validation instead. This changes the error strings reported when the devices are too small, but preserves the failure behaviour.
