Actually, neither change is needed, now that I look at things more
closely. hash is a __u32, so it could never been
EXT4_HTREE_EOF_64BIT. But given that we won't let major hash become
larger than 0xfffffffc, that means the largest possible position value
is 0x7ffffffeffffffff. So using an EOF value of 0x0x7fffffffffffffff
will work fine.
The bigger problem that I found when I looked more closely at the
patch is that the patch uses f_flags in places where f_mode needs to
be used:
static inline loff_t hash2pos(struct file *filp, __u32 major, __u32 minor)
{
if ((filp->f_flags & FMODE_32BITHASH) ||
^^^^^^^
(!(filp->f_flags & FMODE_64BITHASH) && is_32bit_api()))
^^^^^^^
return major >> 1;
else
return ((__u64)(major >> 1) << 32) | (__u64)minor;
}
static inline __u32 pos2maj_hash(struct file *filp, loff_t pos)
{
if ((filp->f_flags & FMODE_32BITHASH) ||
^^^^^^
(!(filp->f_mode & FMODE_64BITHASH) && is_32bit_api()))
^^^^^^
return (pos << 1) & 0xffffffff;
else
return ((pos >> 32) << 1) & 0xffffffff;
}
Which makes me wonder how much this has been tested?
