From b7a1da695f3fb33d093e6de20b1dfc238e3c9587 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guo Chao Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:16:50 -0800 Subject: loopdev: ignore negative offset when calculate loop device size Negative offset may cause loop device size larger than backing file size. $ fallocate -l 1M a $ losetup --offset 0xffffffffffff0000 /dev/loop0 a $ blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0 1114112 $ ls -l a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576 Jan 23 12:46 a $ cat /dev/loop0 cat: /dev/loop0: Input/output error It makes no sense to do that. Only apply offset when it's positive. Fix a typo in the comment by the way. Signed-off-by: Guo Chao Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Guo Chao Cc: M.
