Revision e7080a439a6f507abbc860847c33efc39b5c1c6d authored by Nicolai Stange on 25 March 2016, 21:22:14 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 25 March 2016, 23:37:42 UTC
If - generic_file_read_iter() gets called with a zero read length, - the read offset is at a page boundary, - IOCB_DIRECT is not set - and the page in question hasn't made it into the page cache yet, then do_generic_file_read() will trigger a readahead with a req_size hint of zero. Since roundup_pow_of_two(0) is undefined, UBSAN reports UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in include/linux/log2.h:63:13 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int' CPU: 3 PID: 1017 Comm: sa1 Tainted: G L 4.5.0-next-20160318+ #14 [...] Call Trace: [...] [<ffffffff813ef61a>] ondemand_readahead+0x3aa/0x3d0 [<ffffffff813ef61a>] ? ondemand_readahead+0x3aa/0x3d0 [<ffffffff813c73bd>] ? find_get_entry+0x2d/0x210 [<ffffffff813ef9c3>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x63/0xa0 [<ffffffff813cc04d>] do_generic_file_read+0x80d/0xf90 [<ffffffff813cc955>] generic_file_read_iter+0x185/0x420 [...] [<ffffffff81510b06>] __vfs_read+0x256/0x3d0 [...] when get_init_ra_size() gets called from ondemand_readahead(). The net effect is that the initial readahead size is arch dependent for requested read lengths of zero: for example, since 1UL << (sizeof(unsigned long) * 8) evaluates to 1 on x86 while its result is 0 on ARMv7, the initial readahead size becomes 4 on the former and 0 on the latter. What's more, whether or not the file access timestamp is updated for zero length reads is decided differently for the two cases of IOCB_DIRECT being set or cleared: in the first case, generic_file_read_iter() explicitly skips updating that timestamp while in the latter case, it is always updated through the call to do_generic_file_read(). According to POSIX, zero length reads "do not modify the last data access timestamp" and thus, the IOCB_DIRECT behaviour is POSIXly correct. Let generic_file_read_iter() unconditionally check the requested read length at its entry and return immediately with success if it is zero.
