This is to fix the compile error below: fs/f2fs/iostat.c:231 __update_iostat_latency() error: buffer overflow 'io_lat->peak_lat[type]' 3 type; 216 struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi = iostat_ctx->sbi; 217 struct iostat_lat_info *io_lat = sbi->iostat_io_lat; 218 unsigned long flags; 219 220 if (!sbi->iostat_enable) 221 return; 222 223 ts_diff = jiffies - iostat_ctx->submit_ts; 224 if (page_type >= META_FLUSH) ^^^^^^^^^^ 225 page_type = META; 226 227 spin_lock_irqsave(&sbi->iostat_lat_lock, flags); @228 io_lat->sum_lat[type][page_type] += ts_diff; ^^^^^^^^^ Mixup between META_FLUSH and NR_PAGE_TYPE leads to memory corruption.
