Subject: [PATCH] netfs: Use container_of() for offset casting
Date: Tue, 17 May 2022 14:02:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220517210230.864239-1-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)

While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context <-> inode casting, __builtin_object_size()
as used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled. Switch to using
an internally defined netfs_i_context/inode struct for doing a full
container_of() casting. This keeps both randstruct and __bos() happy
under GCC 12. Silences:

In file included from ./include/linux/string.h:253,
                 from ./include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7,
                 from fs/ceph/inode.c:2:

    inlined from ‘netfs_i_context_init’ at ./include/linux/netfs.h:326:2,

      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If this looks good I can add it to my hardening tree, or if you want to
carry it, I can respin this without the earlier randstruct changes and
drop that patch from my tree?
