From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx> A read of a large file on an afs mount failed: # cat junk.file > /dev/null cat: junk.file: Bad message Looking at the trace, call->offset wrapped since it is only an unsigned short. In afs_extract_data: _enter("{%u},{%zu},%d,,%zu", call->offset, len, last, count); ... if (call->offset < count) { if (last) { _leave(" = -EBADMSG [%d < %zu]", call->offset, count); return -EBADMSG; } Which matches the trace: [cat ] ==> afs_extract_data({65132},{524},1,,65536) [cat ] <== afs_extract_data() = -EBADMSG [0 < 65536] call->offset went from 65132 to 0. Fix this by making call->offset an unsigned int.
