Gao Xiang ada49d64fb xfs: fix forkoff miscalculation related to XFS_LITINO(mp)
Currently, commit e9e2eae89d dropped a (int) decoration from
XFS_LITINO(mp), and since sizeof() expression is also involved,
the result of XFS_LITINO(mp) is simply as the size_t type
(commonly unsigned long).

Considering the expression in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit():
  offset = (XFS_LITINO(mp) - bytes) >> 3;
let "bytes" be (int)340, and
    "XFS_LITINO(mp)" be (unsigned long)336.

on 64-bit platform, the expression is
  offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 3 =
           (int)(0xfffffffffffffffcUL >> 3) = -1

but on 32-bit platform, the expression is
  offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 3 =
           (int)(0xfffffffcUL >> 3) = 0x1fffffff
instead.

so offset becomes a large positive number on 32-bit platform, and
cause xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() returns maxforkoff rather than 0.

Therefore, one result is
  "ASSERT(new_size <= XFS_IFORK_SIZE(ip, whichfork));"

assertion failure in xfs_idata_realloc(), which was also the root
cause of the original bugreport from Dennis, see:
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894177

And it can also be manually triggered with the following commands:
  $ touch a;
  $ setfattr -n user.0 -v "`seq 0 80`" a;
  $ setfattr -n user.1 -v "`seq 0 80`" a

on 32-bit platform.

Fix the case in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() by bailing out
"XFS_LITINO(mp) < bytes" in advance suggested by Eric and a misleading
comment together with this bugfix suggested by Darrick. It seems the
other users of XFS_LITINO(mp) are not impacted.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
