Currently, commit e9e2eae89ddb dropped a (int) decoration from XFS_LITINO(mp), and since sizeof() expression is also involved, the result of XFS_LITINO(mp) is simply as the size_t type (commonly unsigned long). Considering the expression in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit(): offset = (XFS_LITINO(mp) - bytes) >> 3; let "bytes" be (int)340, and "XFS_LITINO(mp)" be (unsigned long)336. on 64-bit platform, the expression is offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 8 = (int)(0xfffffffffffffffcUL >> 3) = -1 but on 32-bit platform, the expression is offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 8 = (int)(0xfffffffcUL >> 3) = 0x1fffffff instead. so offset becomes a large number on 32-bit platform, and cause xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() returns maxforkoff rather than 0 Therefore, one result is "ASSERT(new_size <= XFS_IFORK_SIZE(ip, whichfork));" assertion failure in xfs_idata_realloc(). , which can be triggered with the following commands: touch a; setfattr -n user.0 -v "`seq 0 80`" a; setfattr -n user.1 -v "`seq 0 80`" a on 32-bit platform. Fix it by restoring (int) decorator to XFS_LITINO(mp) since int type for XFS_LITINO(mp) is safe and all pre-exist signed calculations are correct. Fixes: e9e2eae89ddb ("xfs: only check the superblock version for dinode size calculation") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 5.7+ Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure this is the preferred way or just simply fix xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() since I don't look into the rest of XFS_LITINO(mp) users. Add (int) to XFS_LITINO(mp) will avoid all potential regression at least. fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h index dd764da08f6f..f58f0a44c024 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h @@ -1061,7 +1061,7 @@ enum xfs_dinode_fmt { sizeof(struct xfs_dinode) : \ offsetof(struct xfs_dinode, di_crc)) #define XFS_LITINO(mp) \ - ((mp)->m_sb.sb_inodesize - XFS_DINODE_SIZE(&(mp)->m_sb)) + ((int)((mp)->m_sb.sb_inodesize - XFS_DINODE_SIZE(&(mp)->m_sb))) /* * Inode data & attribute fork sizes, per inode. -- 2.18.4
