Subject: [PATCH 4.4 47/84] bcache: fix stack corruption by PRECEDING_KEY()

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

commit 31b90956b124240aa8c63250243ae1a53585c5e2 upstream.

Recently people report bcache code compiled with gcc9 is broken, one of
the buggy behavior I observe is that two adjacent 4KB I/Os should merge
into one but they don't. Finally it turns out to be a stack corruption
caused by macro PRECEDING_KEY().

See how PRECEDING_KEY() is defined in bset.h,
437 #define PRECEDING_KEY(_k)                                       \
438 ({                                                              \
439         struct bkey *_ret = NULL;                               \
440                                                                 \
441         if (KEY_INODE(_k) || KEY_OFFSET(_k)) {                  \
442                 _ret = &KEY(KEY_INODE(_k), KEY_OFFSET(_k), 0);  \
443                                                                 \
444                 if (!_ret->low)                                 \
445                         _ret->high--;                           \
446                 _ret->low--;                                    \
447         }                                                       \
448                                                                 \
449         _ret;                                                   \
450 })

At line 442, _ret points to address of a on-stack variable combined by
KEY(), the life range of this on-stack variable is in line 442-446,
once _ret is returned to bch_btree_insert_key(), the returned address
points to an invalid stack address and this address is overwritten in
the following called bch_btree_iter_init(). Then argument 'search' of
bch_btree_iter_init() points to some address inside stackframe of
bch_btree_iter_init(), exact address depends on how the compiler
allocates stack space. Now the stack is corrupted.
