Revision bc4ef7592f657ae81b017207a1098817126ad4cb authored by David Sterba on 13 November 2015, 12:44:28 UTC, committed by Chris Mason on 11 February 2016, 15:01:59 UTC
The value of ctx->pos in the last readdir call is supposed to be set to
INT_MAX due to 32bit compatibility, unless 'pos' is intentially set to a
larger value, then it's LLONG_MAX.

There's a report from PaX SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin that "ctx->pos++"
overflows (https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4284), on a
64bit arch, where the value is 0x7fffffffffffffff ie. LLONG_MAX before
the increment.

We can get to that situation like that:

* emit all regular readdir entries
* still in the same call to readdir, bump the last pos to INT_MAX
* next call to readdir will not emit any entries, but will reach the
  bump code again, finds pos to be INT_MAX and sets it to LLONG_MAX

Normally this is not a problem, but if we call readdir again, we'll find
'pos' set to LLONG_MAX and the unconditional increment will overflow.

The report from Victor at
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/49500) with debugging
print shows that pattern:

The jump from 7fffffff to 7fffffffffffffff happens when new dir entries
are not yet synced and are processed from the delayed list. Then the code
could go to the bump section again even though it might not emit any new
dir entries from the delayed list.

The fix avoids entering the "bump" section again once we've finished
emitting the entries, both for synced and delayed entries.
