Subject: [PATCH 0/6] fix INT_MAX readdir hang, plus cleanups
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 15:17:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370384280-28652-1-git-send-email-zab@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi gang,
I finally sat down to fix that readdir hang that has been in the back
of my mind for a while. I *hope* that the fix is pretty simple: just
don't manufacture a fake f_pos, I *think* we can abuse f_version as an
indicator that we shouldn't return entries. Does this look reasonable?
We still have the problem that we can generate valid large f_pos values
that can confuse 32bit userspace, but that's a different problem. I
think we'll want filldir generation of EOVERFLOW like what exists for
large inodes.
The rest of the patches are cleanups that I saw when absorbing the
code. It's all lightly tested with xfstests but it wouldn't surprise
me if I missed something so review is appreciated.
Thanks!
