On 2.3.18, when copying files off of a CD, I get lots of
Sep 16 16:13:31 banzai3 kernel: _isofs_bmap: block >= EOF (1726, 3532800)
Sep 16 16:13:31 banzai3 kernel: _isofs_bmap: block >= EOF (1727, 3532800)
Sep 16 16:13:31 banzai3 kernel: _isofs_bmap: block >= EOF (1728, 3532800)
[...]
Sep 16 16:13:32 banzai3 kernel: _isofs_bmap: block >= EOF (1761, 3532800)
The messages come from a warning in fs/isofs/inode.c about trying to
get a block beyond the end of the file. After looking through the
code, it seems clear that this is caused by the read-ahead code in
mm/filemap.c, which doesn't seem to pay enough attention to
inode->i_size.
Of course, I can just delete the warning, but that's probably just
fixing the symptom. I'm not at all familiar with the
page-cache/read-ahead stuff, so I ask the gurus: is this supposed
to be this way?
N.B., this doesn't seem to be isolated to isofs, it just so happens
that isofs outputs a warning...
