Subject: [PATCH 7.2 064/457] netfs, afs: Fix symlink reading
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 17:22:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930152347.421152614@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930152346.024115587@linuxfoundation.org>
7.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit c51e89c5b5db3e1927738fad7cd18b66dde68aed ]
Fix the reading of symlinks from the cache in afs by making netfslib trim
the amount read down to i_size. The problem is that afs sets the size of
the iterator to the size of the buffer (PAGE_SIZE) so that the cache can
round the read size up to the cache's DIO size.
Note that this also impacts the reading of AFS mountpoints as they're just
stored as symlinks with an odd file mode.
