xfs: fix assertion failure in xfs_vm_write_failed()
In xfs_vm_write_failed(), we evaluate the block_offset of pos with PAGE_MASK which is an unsigned long. That is fine on 64-bit platforms regardless of whether the request pos is 32-bit or 64-bit. However, on 32-bit platforms the value is 0xfffff000 and so the high 32 bits in it will be masked off with (pos & PAGE_MASK) for a 64-bit pos. As a result, the evaluated block_offset is incorrect which will cause this failure ASSERT(block_offset + from == pos); and potentially pass the wrong block to xfs_vm_kill_delalloc_range(). In this case, we can get a kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled: XFS: Assertion failed: block_offset + from == pos, file: fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c, line: 1504 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/xfs/xfs_message.c:100! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP ........
