The marshalling of AFS.StoreData, AFS.StoreData64 and YFS.StoreData64 calls
generated by ->setattr() ops for the purpose of expanding a file is
incorrect due to older documentation incorrectly describing the way the RPC
'FileLength' parameter is meant to work.
The older documentation says that this is the length the file is meant to
end up at the end of the operation; however, it was never implemented this
way in any of the servers, but rather the file is truncated down to this
before the write operation is effected, and never expanded to it (and,
indeed, it was renamed to 'TruncPos' in 2014).
Fix this by setting the position parameter to the new file length and doing
a zero-lengh write there.
The bug causes Xwayland to SIGBUS due to unexpected non-expansion of a file
it then mmaps. This can be tested by giving the following test program a
filename in an AFS directory:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *p;
int fd;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Format: test-trunc-mmap <file>\n");
exit(2);
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
if (fd < 0) {
perror(argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
if (ftruncate(fd, 0x140008) == -1) {
perror("ftruncate");
exit(1);
}
p = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
exit(1);
}
p[0] = 'a';
if (munmap(p, 4096) < 0) {
perror("munmap");
exit(1);
}
if (close(fd) < 0) {
perror("close");
exit(1);
}
exit(0);
}
