    xfs: fix assertion failure in xfs_vm_write_failed() · 58e59854
    Jie Liu authored
    In xfs_vm_write_failed(), we evaluate the block_offset of pos with
    PAGE_MASK which is an unsigned long.  That is fine on 64-bit platforms
    regardless of whether the request pos is 32-bit or 64-bit.  However, on
    32-bit platforms the value is 0xfffff000 and so the high 32 bits in it
    will be masked off with (pos & PAGE_MASK) for a 64-bit pos.
    
    As a result, the evaluated block_offset is incorrect which will cause
    this failure ASSERT(block_offset + from == pos); and potentially pass
    the wrong block to xfs_vm_kill_delalloc_range().
    
    In this case, we can get a kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled:
    
    XFS: Assertion failed: block_offset + from == pos, file: fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c, line: 1504

     Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
    
    In order to avoid this, we can evaluate the block_offset of the start
    of the page by using shifts rather than masks the mismatch problem.
    
    Thanks Dave Chinner for help finding and fixing this bug.
