The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Korolev Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Leonenko Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/fs/jffs2/file.c b/fs/jffs2/file.c index f9c5dd6f4b6..dcc2734e0b5 100644 --- a/fs/jffs2/file.c +++ b/fs/jffs2/file.c @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ static int jffs2_write_begin(struct file *filp, struct address_space *mapping, struct inode *inode = mapping->host; struct jffs2_inode_info *f = JFFS2_INODE_INFO(inode); pgoff_t index = pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; - uint32_t pageofs = pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1); + uint32_t pageofs = index << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT; int ret = 0; pg = __grab_cache_page(mapping, index);
