Description

hrev52013 x86_64 and x86_gcc2h

Inserting any NTFS formatted USB drive will generate a general system error when mounting.

BFS and FAT formatted drives seem to work OK

Syslogs attached for each.

I switched to another PC with hrev51986 installed - working

After a pkgman update to hrev52013 - not working

Looks like korli's compat mode changes broke something.

7:34 PM <Vidrep_gcc2h> hrev52002 is working

comment:5 by waddlesplash, 7 years ago

I was under the impression that the compat-mode code is ifdef'd out on 32-bit, but it looks like in some of those commits that's not the case?

comment:6 by waddlesplash, 7 years ago

Vidrep also reports that the system will not shut down.

comment:7 by waddlesplash, 7 years ago

8:30 PM <Vidrep_gcc2h> hrev52009 shuts down cleanly. hrev52013 hangs every time

Guess that belongs in another ticket, then.

comment:8 by cocobean, 7 years ago

Retested on hrev52014 x86_64 - FAT32/exFAT work, NTFS won't mount giving GSF error. Retested on hrev51986 x86_64 - FAT32/exFAT/NTFS work, no errors.

Narrowed down a bit further.

hrev52009 - working

hrev52012 - not working

comment:10 by waddlesplash, 7 years ago

hrev520010 & hrev520011 reverted in hrev52016, please retest after that.

comment:11 by vidrep, 7 years ago

After updating to hrev52017 NTFS mounting is working again.

comment:12 by cocobean, 7 years ago

Tested hrev52017 x86_64. NTFS R/W mounts working again. Tested two different vendor NTFS-formatted external USB drives. Confirmed as fixed.

Good. Moving out of beta1 milestone then.

Real fix applied in hrev52048.

comment:16 by waddlesplash, 6 years ago

Nice.

At this point, though, @korli -- perhaps we should wait until after beta1 to merge the patchset; seeing as it may uncover more subtle bugs like these.

comment:17 by waddlesplash, 6 years ago

I wonder, though: perhaps we should add an ASSERT to user_memcpy to check if it IS_USER_ADDRESS -- or is there some scenario that it would not be, but that would be legal?

comment:18 by pulkomandy, 6 years ago

An assert? which would, like, trigger a KDL?

comment:19 by korli, 6 years ago

user_memcpy() has two parameters, source and destination, to rewrite what you said, you would like to assert than one of both is a user address. You could also add the check to the normal memcpy() but it is actually used by user_memcpy().

comment:20 by waddlesplash, 6 years ago

Yeah, it would trigger a KDL. Essentially this is the reverse of SMAP: SMAP makes sure you don't access user memory through an improper channel. Adding these asserts will prevent using user_memcpyfor copying kernel buffers.

OK, thanks for the tip, I'll try it that way.
