Subject: [PATCH v2] ksmbd: vfs_cache: avoid integer overflow in inode_hash()
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 23:48:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251115144836.555128-1-pioooooooooip@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAKYAXd-_S184kK0NUyuCgOTvCvq382c3Fxt=ytes-ekydwGLuQ@mail.gmail.com>

inode_hash() currently mixes a hash value with the super_block pointer
using an unbounded multiplication:

    tmp = (hashval * (unsigned long)sb) ^
          (GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME + hashval) / L1_CACHE_BYTES;

On 64-bit kernels this multiplication can overflow and wrap in unsigned
long arithmetic. While this is not a memory-safety issue, it is an
unbounded integer operation and weakens the mixing properties of the
hash.

Replace the pointer*hash multiply with hash_long() over a mixed value
(hashval ^ (unsigned long)sb) and keep the existing shift/mask. This
removes the overflow source and reuses the standard hash helper already
used in other kernel code.

This is an integer wraparound / robustness issue (CWE-190/CWE-407),
not a memory-safety bug.
