The patch titled mm: fix blkdev size calculation in generic_write_checks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-fix-blkdev-size-calculation-in-generic_write_checks.patch This patch was dropped because it had testing failures ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm: fix blkdev size calculation in generic_write_checks From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently block device size calculated regardless its bd_block_size. This may result attempt to write outside block device if i_size not aligned to bdev->bd_block_size and result in EIO. #### TEST_CASE_BEGIN # fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 36.7 GB, 36703918080 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4462 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 1 254 2040223+ 83 Ldinux /dev/sdc2 255 379 1004062+ 83 Linux #### #### /dev/sdc2 size not aligned to 4K #### at this time bd_block_size == 512 so generic_write_check #### performed correctly # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2 bs=1k count=7 seek=1004058 dd: writing `/dev/sdc2': No space left on device 5+0 records in 4+0 records out #### this bdev contain ext4fs with blksize = 4K # mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/ #### after we mounted this bdev bd_block_size == fsblksize == 4K #### the same write operation failed with EIO # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2 bs=1k count=7 seek=1004058 dd: writing `/dev/sdc2': Input/output error 3+0 records in 2+0 records out #### Attempt to write whole fsblock result write access outside #### blkdevice and cause -EIO (returned by blkdev_get_block) #### TEST_CASE_END Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/filemap.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN mm/filemap.c~mm-fix-blkdev-size-calculation-in-generic_write_checks mm/filemap.c --- a/mm/filemap.c~mm-fix-blkdev-size-calculation-in-generic_write_checks +++ a/mm/filemap.c @@ -1856,9 +1856,11 @@ inline int generic_write_checks(struct f } else { #ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK loff_t isize; + unsigned int blksize; if (bdev_read_only(I_BDEV(inode))) return -EPERM; - isize = i_size_read(inode); + blksize = block_size(I_BDEV(inode)); + isize = i_size_read(inode) & ~(blksize - 1); if (*pos >= isize) { if (*count || *pos > isize) return -ENOSPC; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx are git-md-accel.patch mm-fix-blkdev-size-calculation-in-generic_write_checks.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
