Hi all,
While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest using latest linux-next, I've stumbled on the following:

Thank you, Sasha: this should fix it, and similar in other FSes.
[PATCH] tmpfs,ceph,gfs2,isofs,reiserfs,xfs: fix fh_len checking
Fuzzing with trinity oopsed on the 1st instruction of shmem_fh_to_dentry(),
u64 inum = fid->raw[2];
which is unhelpfully reported as at the end of shmem_alloc_inode():
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880061cd3000
IP: [<ffffffff812190d0>] shmem_alloc_inode+0x40/0x40
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff81488649>] ? exportfs_decode_fh+0x79/0x2d0
[<ffffffff812d77c3>] do_handle_open+0x163/0x2c0
[<ffffffff812d792c>] sys_open_by_handle_at+0xc/0x10
[<ffffffff83a5f3f8>] tracesys+0xe1/0xe6
Right, tmpfs is being stupid to access fid->raw[2] before validating that
fh_len includes it: the buffer kmalloc'ed by do_sys_name_to_handle() may
fall at the end of a page, and the next page not be present.
But some other filesystems (ceph, gfs2, isofs, reiserfs, xfs) are being
careless about fh_len too, in fh_to_dentry() and/or fh_to_parent(), and
could oops in the same way: add the missing fh_len checks to those.

TBH, I really don't like it. How about putting minimal acceptable fhandle
length into export_operations instead?

Fair enough.

Hmm, but different "types" have different length constraints,
and each fh_to_dentry() or fh_to_parent() handles several types.
And the encode operations "encourage" using different lengths.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but I don't know how to do
as you propose, without multiplying the number of operations
horribly, and changing all (not just these) filesystems.
But hack around to your heart's content, there's no need for
this patch to go in if there's a better.

I'd just as soon take this patch and validate the size in the ceph
methods. We can always drop these checks if/when we enforce a lower-bound
in generic code that makes them redundant, but I'd prefer to fix this
sooner rather than later.
Thanks!
