David Howells cf65b5bfac vfs: Check the truncate maximum size in inode_newsize_ok()
commit e2ebff9c57 upstream.

If something manages to set the maximum file size to MAX_OFFSET+1, this
can cause the xfs and ext4 filesystems at least to become corrupt.

Ordinarily, the kernel protects against userspace trying this by
checking the value early in the truncate() and ftruncate() system calls
calls - but there are at least two places that this check is bypassed:

 (1) Cachefiles will round up the EOF of the backing file to DIO block
     size so as to allow DIO on the final block - but this might push
     the offset negative. It then calls notify_change(), but this
     inadvertently bypasses the checking. This can be triggered if
     someone puts an 8EiB-1 file on a server for someone else to try and
     access by, say, nfs.

 (2) ksmbd doesn't check the value it is given in set_end_of_file_info()
     and then calls vfs_truncate() directly - which also bypasses the
     check.

In both cases, it is potentially possible for a network filesystem to
cause a disk filesystem to be corrupted: cachefiles in the client's
cache filesystem; ksmbd in the server's filesystem.

nfsd is okay as it checks the value, but we can then remove this check
too.

Fix this by adding a check to inode_newsize_ok(), as called from
setattr_prepare(), thereby catching the issue as filesystems set up to
perform the truncate with minimal opportunity for bypassing the new
check.

Fixes: f441584858 ("cifsd: add file operations")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
