The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB. Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL. The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer from this mistake. Fixes: 3f6d078 ("fix compat truncate/ftruncate") Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
