commit 31b90956b124240aa8c63250243ae1a53585c5e2 upstream.
Recently people report bcache code compiled with gcc9 is broken, one of
the buggy behavior I observe is that two adjacent 4KB I/Os should merge
into one but they don't. Finally it turns out to be a stack corruption
caused by macro PRECEDING_KEY().
See how PRECEDING_KEY() is defined in bset.h,
437 #define PRECEDING_KEY(_k) \
438 ({ \
439 struct bkey *_ret = NULL; \
440 \
441 if (KEY_INODE(_k) || KEY_OFFSET(_k)) { \
442 _ret = &KEY(KEY_INODE(_k), KEY_OFFSET(_k), 0); \
443 \
444 if (!_ret->low) \
445 _ret->high--; \
446 _ret->low--; \
447 } \
448 \
449 _ret; \
450 })
At line 442, _ret points to address of a on-stack variable combined by
KEY(), the life range of this on-stack variable is in line 442-446,
once _ret is returned to bch_btree_insert_key(), the returned address
points to an invalid stack address and this address is overwritten in
the following called bch_btree_iter_init(). Then argument 'search' of
bch_btree_iter_init() points to some address inside stackframe of
bch_btree_iter_init(), exact address depends on how the compiler
allocates stack space. Now the stack is corrupted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
