On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init() because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW. This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821 Acked-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Will Woods <[email protected]> --- fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c b/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c index 4e565c8..732648b 100644 --- a/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c +++ b/fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c @@ -698,6 +698,8 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE2(fanotify_init, unsigned int, flags, unsigned int, event_f_flags) } group->overflow_event = &oevent->fse; + if (force_o_largefile()) + event_f_flags |= O_LARGEFILE; group->fanotify_data.f_flags = event_f_flags; #ifdef CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS spin_lock_init(&group->fanotify_data.access_lock); -- 1.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
