[PATCH] m68k: Fix kernel_clone_args.flags in m68k_clone()

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sat Aug 10 2024 - 03:14:56 EST


Stan Johnson recently reported a failure from the 'dump' command:

DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Aug 9 23:37:15 2024
DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda (an unlisted file system) to /dev/null
DUMP: Label: none
DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 3595695 blocks.
DUMP: Context save fork fails in parent 671

The dump program uses the clone syscall with the CLONE_IO flag, that is,
flags == 0x80000000. When that value is cast from long int to u64 by
m68k_clone(), it undergoes sign-extension. The new value includes
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP so the validation in cgroup_css_set_fork() fails and
the syscall returns -EBADFD.

Avoid sign-extension by adopting the idiom used in kernel/fork.c when
casting clone flags.
