New code for 5.5:
- Make iomap_dio_rw callers explicitly tell us if they want us to wait
- Port the xfs writeback code to iomap to complete the buffered io
library functions
- Refactor the unshare code to share common pieces
- Add support for performing copy on write with buffered writes
- Other minor fixes
- Fix unchecked return in iomap_bmap
- Fix a type casting bug in a ternary statement in iomap_dio_bio_actor
iomap: fix return value of iomap_dio_bio_actor on 32bit systems
Naresh reported LTP diotest4 failing for 32bit x86 and arm -next
kernels on ext4. Same problem exists in 5.4-rc7 on xfs.
The failure comes down to:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "testdata-4.5918", O_RDWR|O_DIRECT) = 4
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f7b000
read(4, 0xb7f7b000, 4096) = 0 // expects -EFAULT
Problem is conversion at iomap_dio_bio_actor() return. Ternary
operator has a return type and an attempt is made to convert each
of operands to the type of the other. In this case "ret" (int)
is converted to type of "copied" (unsigned long). Both have size
of 4 bytes:
size_t copied = 0;
int ret = -14;
long long actor_ret = copied ? copied : ret;
On x86_64: actor_ret == -14;
On x86 : actor_ret == 4294967282
Replace ternary operator with 2 return statements to avoid this
unwanted conversion.
