Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix integer overflow in bmap intent sort comparator

xfs_bmap_update_diff_items() sorts bmap intents by inode number using a subtraction of two xfs_ino_t (uint64_t) values, with the result truncated to int. This is incorrect when two inode numbers differ by more than INT_MAX (2^31 - 1), which is entirely possible on large XFS filesystems.

Fix this by replacing the subtraction with cmp_int().

PATCH 1/1 xfs: fix integer overflow in bmap intent sort comparator

[ Upstream commit 362c490980867930a098b99f421268fbd7ca05fd ]

xfs_bmap_update_diff_items() sorts bmap intents by inode number using a subtraction of two xfs_ino_t (uint64_t) values, with the result truncated to int. This is incorrect when two inode numbers differ by more than INT_MAX (2^31 - 1), which is entirely possible on large XFS filesystems.

Cc <[email protected]> # v4.9
Fixes 9f3afb57d5f1 ("xfs: implement deferred bmbt map/unmap operations")
[ replaced `bi_entry()` macro with `container_of()` and inlined `cmp_int()` as a manual three-way comparison expression ]
