[PATCH 1/2] fibmap: Warn and return an error in case of block > INT_MAX

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We better warn the fibmap user and not return a truncated and therefore
an incorrect block map address if the bmap() returned block address
is greater than INT_MAX (since user supplied integer pointer).

It's better to WARN all user of ioctl_fibmap() and return a proper error
code rather than silently letting a FS corruption happen if the user tries
to fiddle around with the returned block map address.

We fix this by returning an error code of -ERANGE and returning 0 as the
block mapping address in case if it is > INT_MAX.
