    vfs: Fix EOVERFLOW testing in put_compat_statfs64 · cc3a7bfe
    Eric Sandeen authored
    Today, put_compat_statfs64() disallows nearly any field value over
    2^32 if f_bsize is only 32 bits, but that makes no sense.
    compat_statfs64 is there for the explicit purpose of providing 64-bit
    fields for f_files, f_ffree, etc.  And f_bsize is always only 32 bits.
    
    As a result, 32-bit userspace gets -EOVERFLOW for i.e.  large file
    counts even with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 set.
    
    In reality, only f_bsize and f_frsize can legitimately overflow
    (fields like f_type and f_namelen should never be large), so test
    only those fields.
    
    This bug was discussed at length some time ago, and this is the proposal
    Al suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/6/640.  It seemed to get
    dropped amid the discussion of other related changes, but this
    part seems obviously correct on its own, so I've picked it up and
    sent it, for expediency.
