[PATCH 4.2 59/61] ceph: fix message length computation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Dec 12 2015 - 15:41:10 EST


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

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

commit 777d738a5e58ba3b6f3932ab1543ce93703f4873 upstream.

create_request_message() computes the maximum length of a message,
but uses the wrong type for the time stamp: sizeof(struct timespec)
may be 8 or 16 depending on the architecture, while sizeof(struct
ceph_timespec) is always 8, and that is what gets put into the
message.

Found while auditing the uses of timespec for y2038 problems.

Fixes: b8e69066d8af ("ceph: include time stamp in every MDS request")
