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.
