Whoo, thanks for the quick answer.  I will send a patch as soon as possible.

Yes, and this is also why I believe this bug is not a security issue nor
something which needs an urgent fix.

Thanks,

Nicolas

Yeah. If reiserfs was more actively maintained, what is currently
protected by CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK would be handled a bit better.
There are ton of fsfuzzer bugs that would be caught by it and should
be handled using reiserfs_error. Unfortunately, it also enables some
heavy checks that make the file system very slow.

Thanks for looking into this. It looks like it's been broken for a
while. I suppose the only saving grace is that it would crash in a
path that crashes on purpose a few lines later.

reiserfs: inconsistent format in __RASSERT

2015-03-16 Thread Nicolas Iooss
Hello,

When adding a __printf attribute to reiserfs_panic, gcc reported an
inconsistent format for __RASSERT.  This macro is currently defined in
fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.h as:

reiserfs_panic(NULL, "assertion failure", "(" #cond ") at " \
__FILE__ ":%i:%s: " format "\n",\
in_interrupt() ? -1 : task_pid_nr(current), \
__LINE__, __func__ , ##args);

In the format string, the first parameter is a line number, but in the
arguments there is a PID before.  Before c3a9c2109f84 ("reiserfs: rework
reiserfs_panic") [1], the format string began with "reiserfs[%i]" [2],
which explains the PID in the arguments.

I see three possibilities:

* I missed something in my analysis and in fact the PID argument is
processed by reiserfs_panic (don't know where), or
* the PID argument is not used and should be removed, or
* the PID is useful and "[%i]" should be added somewhere in the format
string.

Which one would you prefer?

Also, I found this when building the kernel with "allmodconfig" on
x86_64.  With "defconfig" gcc does not report this error, but I guess it
is because without CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK, __RASSERT is never used.

Regards,

Nicolas

reiserfs: inconsistent format in __RASSERT

2015-03-16 Thread Nicolas Iooss
Hello,

When adding a __printf attribute to reiserfs_panic, gcc reported an
inconsistent format for __RASSERT.  This macro is currently defined in
fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.h as:

reiserfs_panic(NULL, assertion failure, ( #cond ) at  \
__FILE__ :%i:%s:  format \n,\
in_interrupt() ? -1 : task_pid_nr(current), \
__LINE__, __func__ , ##args);

In the format string, the first parameter is a line number, but in the
arguments there is a PID before.  Before c3a9c2109f84 (reiserfs: rework
reiserfs_panic) [1], the format string began with reiserfs[%i] [2],
which explains the PID in the arguments.

I see three possibilities:

* I missed something in my analysis and in fact the PID argument is
processed by reiserfs_panic (don't know where), or
* the PID argument is not used and should be removed, or
* the PID is useful and [%i] should be added somewhere in the format
string.

Which one would you prefer?

Also, I found this when building the kernel with allmodconfig on
x86_64.  With defconfig gcc does not report this error, but I guess it
is because without CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK, __RASSERT is never used.
