4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Slaby <jsl...@suse.cz>
commit 999898355e08ae3b92dfd0a08db706e0c6703d30 upstream.
When LONG_MIN is passed to msgrcv, one would expect to recieve any
message. But convert_mode does *msgtyp = -*msgtyp and -LONG_MIN is
undefined. In particular, with my gcc -LONG_MIN produces -LONG_MIN
again.
So handle this case properly by assigning LONG_MAX to *msgtyp if
LONG_MIN was specified as msgtyp to msgrcv.
This code:
long msg[] = { 100, 200 };
int m = msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT | 0644);
msgsnd(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), 0);
msgrcv(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), LONG_MIN, 0);
produces currently nothing:
msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644) = 65538
msgsnd(65538, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0
msgrcv(65538, ...
Except a UBSAN warning:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/msg.c:745:13
negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int':
With the patch, I see what I expect:
msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644) = 0
msgsnd(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0
msgrcv(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16,
-9223372036854775808, 0) = 16
