In the ocfs2 disk layout, slot number is 16 bits, but in ocfs2 implementation, slot number is 32 bits. Usually this will not cause any issue, because slot number is converted from u16 to u32, but OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT was defined as -1, when an invalid slot number from disk was obtained, its value was (u16)-1, and it was converted to u32. Then the following checking in get_local_system_inode will be always skipped: static struct inode **get_local_system_inode(struct ocfs2_super *osb, int type, u32 slot) { BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT); ... } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200616183829.87211-5-junxiao.bi@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mark@fasheh.com> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Cc: Changwei Ge <gechangwei@live.cn> Cc: Gang He <ghe@suse.com> Cc: Jun Piao <piaojun@huawei.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
