Hi all,
I found a problem at stat64 on 32bit architecture.
When I called stat64 for a file which is larger than 2TB, stat64
returned an invalid number of blocks at st_blocks on 32bit
architecture, although it returned a valid number of blocks on 64bit
architecture(ia64).
The following describes the cause of this issue:
i_blocks in inode is 4bytes on 32bit architecture. If it receives
more than 2^32 number of blocks, it would overflow and set an
invalid number to st_blocks.
Below describes a sequence of setting overflowed inode.i_blocks
to st_blocks through stat64.
1. generic_fillattr(struct inode *inode, struct kstat *stat)
- Copy data from overflowed inode.i_blocks to kstat.blocks.
2. vfs_getattr(struct vfsmount *mnt, struct dentry *dentry,
struct kstat *stat)
- Return invalid kstat.blocks to sys_stat64().
3. sys_stat64(char __user * filename, struct stat64 __user * statbuf)
- Copy data from invalid kstat.blocks to stat64.st_blocks.
I also found the following problem.
- ioctl with FIOQSIZE command returns the size of file's data which
has written to disk. The size of file's data is calculated as
follows in inode_get_bytes().
(((loff_t)inode->i_blocks) << 9) + inode->i_bytes
On the file which is larger than 2TB, the ioctl will return an
invalid size because i_blocks can't express the right number of
blocks.
I think the following modification is essential to fix these
problems.
1. Change the type of inode.i_blocks and kstat.blocks from unsigned
long to unsigned long long.
2. Change the type of architecture dependent stat64.st_blocks in
include/asm/asm-*/stat.h from unsigned long to unsigned long long.
I tried modifying only stat64 of 32bit architecture
(include/asm-i386/stat.h).
I have some tested for a file whose size is 3TB on JFS filesystem.
The following is the patch.
