Subject[v2.6.34-stable 020/165] locks: fix checking of fcntl_setlease argument
Date
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 0ec4f431eb56d633da3a55da67d5c4b88886ccc7 upstream.

The only checks of the long argument passed to fcntl(fd,F_SETLEASE,.)
are done after converting the long to an int. Thus some illegal values
may be let through and cause problems in later code.

[ They actually *don't* cause problems in mainline, as of Dave Jones's
commit 8d657eb3b438 "Remove easily user-triggerable BUG from
generic_setlease", but we should fix this anyway. And this patch will
be necessary to fix real bugs on earlier kernels. ]
