Some events, like the overflow event, are not mergeable, so they are not hashed. But, when failing inside fsnotify_add_event for lack of space, fsnotify_add_event() still calls the insert hook, which adds the overflow event to the merge list. Add a check to prevent any kind of unmergeable event to be inserted in the hashtable. Fixes: 94e00d28a680 ("fsnotify: use hash table for faster events merge") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211025192746.66445-5-krisman@collabora.com Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
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.
