From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> On 32-bit machine, the s_maxbytes is larger than the MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limits if CONFIG_LBDAF is not enabled. Hence it's possible to create a huge file via buffered-IO write with a given offset beyond this limitation. e.g. # block_size=4096 # offset=$(((2**32 - 1) * $block_size)) # xfs_io -f -c "pwrite $offset $block_size" /storage/test_file In this case, xfs_io will hang at the page writeback stage soon since the given offset would cause an overflow at xfs_vm_writepage(): end_index = offset >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; last_index = (offset - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; if (page->index >= end_index) { unsigned offset_into_page = offset & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1); /* * Just skip the page if it is fully outside i_size, e.g. due * to a truncate operation that is in progress. */ if (page->index >= end_index + 1 || offset_into_page == 0) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ unlock_page(page); return 0; } end_index is unsigned long so that the max value is '2^32-1 = 4294967295', and it would be evaluated to the max value with the given offset(when writing the page offset up to s_max_bytes) for above test case. As a result, (page->index >= end_index + 1) is ok as (end_index + 1) is overflowed to ZERO. Actually, create a file as above on 32-bit machine should be failed with EFBIG error returned because there has strict check up at generic_write_checks() against the given offset with a *correct* s_max_bytes. This patch fix the s_max_bytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE if the pre-calculated value is greater than it. Reported-by: Michael L.
