Commit Message

We better warn the fibmap user and not return a truncated and therefore
an incorrect block map address if the bmap() returned block address
is greater than INT_MAX (since user supplied integer pointer).

It's better to WARN all user of ioctl_fibmap() and return a proper error
code rather than silently letting a FS corruption happen if the user tries
to fiddle around with the returned block map address.

We fix this by returning an error code of -ERANGE and returning 0 as the
block mapping address in case if it is > INT_MAX.

The patch looks good to me. You can add:

WARN() is only for kernel bugs.  This case would be a userspace bug, not a
kernel bug, right?  If so, it should use pr_warn(), not WARN().

Ok, I see.
Let me replace WARN() with below pr_warn() line then. If no objections,
then will send this in a v2 with both patches combined as Darrick
suggested. - (with Reviewed-by tags of Jan & Christoph).

pr_warn("fibmap: this would truncate fibmap result\n");

We generally don't like userspace to be able to trigger kernel messages
on demand, so they can't swamp the logfiles.  printk_ratelimited()?

Or WARN_ON_ONCE...

So, Eric was mentioning WARN_** are mostly for kernel side of bugs.
But this is mostly a API fault which affects user side and also to
warn the user about the possible truncation in the block fibmap
addr.
Also WARN_ON_ONCE, will be shown only once and won't be printed for
every other file for which block addr > INT_MAX.

I think we could go with below. If ok, I could post this in v2.

pr_warn_ratelimited("fibmap: would truncate fibmap result\n");

Please include the process ID, the superblock ID and the task name
that is triggering this warning. Otherwise the administrator will
have no clue what is generating it and so won't be able to fix it...

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will make it like below then.
Will send a v2 soon.
