Usually this will not cause any issue, because slot number is converted from u16 to u32, but OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT was defined as -1, when an invalid slot number from disk was obtained, its value was (u16)-1, and it was converted to u32. Then the following checking in get_local_system_inode will be always skipped: static struct inode **get_local_system_inode(struct ocfs2_super *osb, int type, u32 slot) { BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT); ... } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200616183829.87211-5-junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mark@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Changwei Ge <gechangwei@xxxxxxx> Cc: Gang He <ghe@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Jun Piao <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h~ocfs2-fix-value-of-ocfs2_invalid_slot +++ a/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h @@ -290,7 +290,7 @@ #define OCFS2_MAX_SLOTS 255 /* Slot map indicator for an empty slot */ -#define OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT -1 +#define OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT ((u16)-1) #define OCFS2_VOL_UUID_LEN 16 #define OCFS2_MAX_VOL_LABEL_LEN 64 _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx are ocfs2-avoid-inode-removed-while-nfsd-access-it.patch ocfs2-load-global_inode_alloc.patch ocfs2-fix-panic-on-nfs-server-over-ocfs2.patch ocfs2-fix-value-of-ocfs2_invalid_slot.patch
