Subject: [PATCH] grow_buffers() infinite loop fix
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5657933863f43cc6bb76a54d659303dafaa9e58;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] grow_buffers() infinite loop fix

If grow_buffers() is for some reason passed a block number which wants to lie
outside the maximum-addressable pagecache range (PAGE_SIZE * 4G bytes) then it
will accidentally truncate `index' and will then instnatiate a page at the
wrong pagecache offset.  This causes __getblk_slow() to go into an infinite
loop.

This can happen with corrupted disks, or with software errors elsewhere.

Detect that, and handle it.
