[ Upstream commit e9f930ac88a8936ccc2d021110c98810cf5aa810 ]
Naresh reported LTP diotest4 failing for 32bit x86 and arm -next
kernels on ext4. Same problem exists in 5.4-rc7 on xfs.
The failure comes down to:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "testdata-4.5918", O_RDWR|O_DIRECT) = 4
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f7b000
read(4, 0xb7f7b000, 4096) = 0 // expects -EFAULT
Problem is conversion at iomap_dio_bio_actor() return. Ternary
operator has a return type and an attempt is made to convert each
of operands to the type of the other. In this case "ret" (int)
is converted to type of "copied" (unsigned long). Both have size
of 4 bytes:
size_t copied = 0;
int ret = -14;
long long actor_ret = copied ? copied : ret;
On x86_64: actor_ret == -14;
On x86 : actor_ret == 4294967282
Replace ternary operator with 2 return statements to avoid this
unwanted conversion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
