From 1e2ee49f7f1b79f0b14884fe6a602f0411b39552 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Woods Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 12:50:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit 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. Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821 Signed-off-by: Will Woods Acked-by: Eric Paris Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
