[PATCH] fs: error case fix in __generic_file_aio_read
When __generic_file_aio_read() hits an error during reading, it reports the error iff nothing has successfully been read yet. This is condition - when an error occurs, if nothing has been read/written, report the error code; otherwise, report the amount of bytes successfully transferred upto that point. This corner case can be exposed by performing readv(2) with the following iov. iov[0] = len0 @ ptr0 iov[1] = len1 @ NULL (or any other invalid pointer) iov[2] = len2 @ ptr2 When file size is enough, performing above readv(2) results in len0 bytes from file_pos @ ptr0 len2 bytes from file_pos + len0 @ ptr2 And the return value is len0 + len2. Test program is attached to this mail. This patch makes __generic_file_aio_read()'s error handling identical to other functions. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/uio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { const char *path; struct stat stbuf; size_t len0, len1; void *buf0, *buf1; struct iovec iov[3]; int fd, i; ssize_t ret; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: testreadv path (better be a " "small text file)\n"); return 1; } path = argv[1]; if (stat(path, &stbuf) < 0) { perror("stat"); return 1; } len0 = stbuf.st_size / 2; len1 = stbuf.st_size - len0; if (!len0 || !len1) { fprintf(stderr, "Dude, file is too small\n"); return 1; } if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY)) < 0) { perror("open"); return 1; } if (!(buf0 = malloc(len0)) || !(buf1 = malloc(len1))) { perror("malloc"); return 1; } memset(buf0, 0, len0); memset(buf1, 0, len1); iov[0].iov_base = buf0; iov[0].iov_len = len0; iov[1].iov_base = NULL; iov[1].iov_len = len1; iov[2].iov_base = buf1; iov[2].iov_len = len1; printf("vector "); for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) printf("%p:%zu ", iov[i].iov_base, iov[i].iov_len); printf("\n"); ret = readv(fd, iov, 3); if (ret < 0) perror("readv"); printf("readv returned %zd\nbuf0 = [%s]\nbuf1 = [%s]\n", ret, (char *)buf0, (char *)buf1); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
