Commit f3c4ebe65ea1 ("ceph: using hash value to compose dentry offset") modified "if (fpos_frag(new_pos) != fi->frag)" to "if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos))" in need_reset_readdir(), thus replacing a comparison operator with an assignment one. This looks like a typo which is reported by clang when building the kernel with some warning flags: fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: error: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Werror,-Wparentheses] } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) { ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: note: place parentheses around the assignment to silence this warning } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) { ^ ( ) fs/ceph/dir.c:600:22: note: use '!=' to turn this compound assignment into an inequality comparison } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) { ^~ != Fixes: f3c4ebe65ea1 ("ceph: using hash value to compose dentry offset") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ceph/dir.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/ceph/dir.c +++ b/fs/ceph/dir.c @@ -597,7 +597,7 @@ static bool need_reset_readdir(struct ce if (is_hash_order(new_pos)) { /* no need to reset last_name for a forward seek when * dentries are sotred in hash order */ - } else if (fi->frag |= fpos_frag(new_pos)) { + } else if (fi->frag != fpos_frag(new_pos)) { return true; } rinfo = fi->last_readdir ? &fi->last_readdir->r_reply_info : NULL; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx are queue-4.7/printk-fix-parsing-of-brl-option.patch queue-4.7/ceph-do-not-modify-fi-frag-in-need_reset_readdir.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
