commit31b90956b1upstream. Recently people report bcache code compiled with gcc9 is broken, one of the buggy behavior I observe is that two adjacent 4KB I/Os should merge into one but they don't. Finally it turns out to be a stack corruption caused by macro PRECEDING_KEY(). See how PRECEDING_KEY() is defined in bset.h, 437 #define PRECEDING_KEY(_k) \ 438 ({ \ 439 struct bkey *_ret = NULL; \ 440 \ 441 if (KEY_INODE(_k) || KEY_OFFSET(_k)) { \ 442 _ret = &KEY(KEY_INODE(_k), KEY_OFFSET(_k), 0); \ 443 \ 444 if (!_ret->low) \ 445 _ret->high--; \ 446 _ret->low--; \ 447 } \ 448 \ 449 _ret; \ 450 }) At line 442, _ret points to address of a on-stack variable combined by KEY(), the life range of this on-stack variable is in line 442-446, once _ret is returned to bch_btree_insert_key(), the returned address points to an invalid stack address and this address is overwritten in the following called bch_btree_iter_init(). Then argument 'search' of bch_btree_iter_init() points to some address inside stackframe of bch_btree_iter_init(), exact address depends on how the compiler allocates stack space. Now the stack is corrupted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
