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) >> 3 =
(int)(0xfffffffffffffffcUL >> 3) = -1
but on 32-bit platform, the expression is
offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 3 =
(int)(0xfffffffcUL >> 3) = 0x1fffffff
instead.
so offset becomes a large positive 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 was also the root
cause of the original bugreport from Dennis, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894177
And it can also be manually 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 the case in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() by bailing out
"XFS_LITINO(mp) < bytes" in advance suggested by Eric and a misleading
comment together with this bugfix suggested by Darrick. It seems the
other users of XFS_LITINO(mp) are not impacted.
