vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()
We triggered a deadloop in truncate_inode_pages_range() on 32 bits architecture with the test case bellow: ... fd = open(); write(fd, buf, 4096); preadv64(fd, &iovec, 1, 0xffffffff000); ftruncate(fd, 0); ... Then ftruncate() will not return forever. The filesystem used in this case is ubifs, but it can be triggered on many other filesystems. When preadv64() is called with offset=0xffffffff000, a page with index=0xffffffff will be added to the radix tree of ->mapping. Then this page can be found in ->mapping with pagevec_lookup(). After that, truncate_inode_pages_range(), which is called in ftruncate(), will fall into an infinite loop: - find a page with index=0xffffffff, since index>=end, this page won't be truncated - index++, and index become 0 - the page with index=0xffffffff will be found again The data type of index is unsigned long, so index won't overflow to 0 on 64 bits architecture in this case, and the dead loop won't happen. Since truncate_inode_pages_range() is executed with holding lock of inode->i_rwsem, any operation related with this lock will be blocked, and a hung task will happen, e.g.: INFO: task truncate_test:3364 blocked for more than 120 seconds. ... call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x17/0x30 generic_file_write_iter+0x32/0x1c0 ubifs_write_iter+0xcc/0x170 __vfs_write+0xc4/0x120 vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0 SyS_write+0x46/0xa0 The page with index=0xffffffff added to ->mapping is useless. Fix this by checking the read position before allocating pages.
