PATCH 1/1 fs: sysfs_emit_at: Remove PAGE_SIZE alignment check
From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>
[No upstream commit because this fixes a bug in a backport.]
Before upstream commit 59bb47985c1d ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)") which went into v5.4, kmalloc did *not* always guarantee that PAGE_SIZE allocations are PAGE_SIZE-aligned.
Upstream commit 2efc459d06f1 ("sysfs: Add sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at to format sysfs output") added two WARN()s that trigger when PAGE_SIZE allocations are not PAGE_SIZE-aligned. This was backported to old kernels that don't guarantee PAGE_SIZE alignment.
Commit 10ddfb495232 ("fs: sysfs_emit: Remove PAGE_SIZE alignment check") in 4.19.y, and its equivalent in 4.14.y and 4.9.y, tried to fix this bug. However, only it handled sysfs_emit(), not sysfs_emit_at().
Fix it in sysfs_emit_at() too.
A reproducer is to build the kernel with the following options:
CONFIG_SLUB=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_SUSPEND=y
CONFIG_PM_WAKELOCKS=y
Then run:
echo foo > /sys/power/wake_lock && cat /sys/power/wake_lock
