[PATCH 3.12 009/142] Btrfs: Fix memory corruption by ulist_add_merge() on 32bit arch

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 4eb1f66dce6c4dc28dd90a7ffbe6b2b1cb08aa4e upstream.

We've got bug reports that btrfs crashes when quota is enabled on
32bit kernel, typically with the Oops like below:

This indicates a NULL corruption in prefs_delayed list.  The further
investigation and bisection pointed that the call of ulist_add_merge()
results in the corruption.

ulist_add_merge() takes u64 as aux and writes a 64bit value into
old_aux.  The callers of this function in backref.c, however, pass a
pointer of a pointer to old_aux.  That is, the function overwrites
64bit value on 32bit pointer.  This caused a NULL in the adjacent
variable, in this case, prefs_delayed.

Here is a quick attempt to band-aid over this: a new function,
ulist_add_merge_ptr() is introduced to pass/store properly a pointer
value instead of u64.  There are still ugly void ** cast remaining
in the callers because void ** cannot be taken implicitly.  But, it's
safer than explicit cast to u64, anyway.
