Subject: vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=42cb56ae;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem.  It's declared as an unsigned long long.

Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.  There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value.  If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.

Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead.  That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.

Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large.  Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.
