From 0ebf7f10d67a70e120f365018f1c5fce9ddc567d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 21:11:08 -0500 Subject: fix sysvfs symlinks The thing got broken back in 2002 - sysvfs does *not* have inline symlinks; even short ones have bodies stored in the first block of file. sysv_symlink() handles that correctly; unfortunately, attempting to look an existing symlink up will end up confusing them for inline symlinks, and interpret the block number containing the body as the body itself. Nobody has noticed until now, which says something about the level of testing sysvfs gets ;-/ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # all of them, not that anyone cared Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- fs/sysv/inode.c | 11 ++--------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs') diff --git a/fs/sysv/inode.c b/fs/sysv/inode.c index 590ad9206e3f..02fa1dcc5969 100644 --- a/fs/sysv/inode.c +++ b/fs/sysv/inode.c @@ -162,15 +162,8 @@ void sysv_set_inode(struct inode *inode, dev_t rdev) inode->i_fop = &sysv_dir_operations; inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &sysv_aops; } else if (S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) { - if (inode->i_blocks) { - inode->i_op = &sysv_symlink_inode_operations; - inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &sysv_aops; - } else { - inode->i_op = &simple_symlink_inode_operations; - inode->i_link = (char *)SYSV_I(inode)->i_data; - nd_terminate_link(inode->i_link, inode->i_size, - sizeof(SYSV_I(inode)->i_data) - 1); - } + inode->i_op = &sysv_symlink_inode_operations; + inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &sysv_aops; } else init_special_inode(inode, inode->i_mode, rdev); } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
