Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix unexpected size truncation
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 17:24:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52D3B0DE.3@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
@splice_desc.total_len is 32 bit(unsigned int) which is used to store the
size passed from userspace which is 64 bit(size_t) so that the size is
unexpectedly truncated
That causes vmsplice can not work if the size passed from userspace is >= 4G,
for example, we noticed in vmsplice, splice-reader does not do anything and
splice-writer is waiting for available buffer forever if the size is 4G
Fix it by extending @splice_desc.total_len to 64 bits as well
