This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext2: correct max file size computing to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext2-correct-max-file-size-computing.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4ee0d9aa3f8a503978bd63ff2e009edf00535201 Author: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Feb 12 13:05:32 2022 +0800 ext2: correct max file size computing [ Upstream commit 50b3a818991074177a56c87124c7a7bdf5fa4f67 ] We need to calculate the max file size accurately if the total blocks that can address by block tree exceed the upper_limit. But this check is not correct now, it only compute the total data blocks but missing metadata blocks are needed. So in the case of "data blocks < upper_limit && total blocks > upper_limit", we will get wrong result. Fortunately, this case could not happen in reality, but it's confused and better to correct the computing. bits data blocks metadatablocks upper_limit 10 16843020 66051 2147483647 11 134480396 263171 1073741823 12 1074791436 1050627 536870911 (*) 13 8594130956 4198403 268435455 (*) 14 68736258060 16785411 134217727 (*) 15 549822930956 67125251 67108863 (*) 16 4398314962956 268468227 33554431 (*) [*] Need to calculate in depth.
