    cifs: Fix a kernel BUG with remote OS/2 server (try #3) · 6513a81e
    Suresh Jayaraman 提交于
    While chasing a bug report involving a OS/2 server, I noticed the server sets
    pSMBr->CountHigh to a incorrect value even in case of normal writes. This
    results in 'nbytes' being computed wrongly and triggers a kernel BUG at
    mm/filemap.c.
    
    void iov_iter_advance(struct iov_iter *i, size_t bytes)
    {
            BUG_ON(i->count < bytes);    <--- BUG here
    
    Why the server is setting 'CountHigh' is not clear but only does so after
    writing 64k bytes. Though this looks like the server bug, the client side
    crash may not be acceptable.
    
    The workaround is to mask off high 16 bits if the number of bytes written as
    returned by the server is greater than the bytes requested by the client as
    suggested by Jeff Layton.
