[PATCH 5.15 393/402] ext4: set type of ac_groups_linear_remaining to __u32 to avoid overflow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9a9f3a9842927e4af7ca10c19c94dad83bebd713 upstream.

Now ac_groups_linear_remaining is of type __u16 and s_mb_max_linear_groups
is of type unsigned int, so an overflow occurs when setting a value above
65535 through the mb_max_linear_groups sysfs interface. Therefore, the
type of ac_groups_linear_remaining is set to __u32 to avoid overflow.

Fixes: 196e402adf2e ("ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning")
