Currently, commite9e2eae89ddropped a (int) decoration from XFS_LITINO(mp), and since sizeof() expression is also involved, the result of XFS_LITINO(mp) is simply as the size_t type (commonly unsigned long). Considering the expression in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit(): offset = (XFS_LITINO(mp) - bytes) >> 3; let "bytes" be (int)340, and "XFS_LITINO(mp)" be (unsigned long)336. on 64-bit platform, the expression is offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 3 = (int)(0xfffffffffffffffcUL >> 3) = -1 but on 32-bit platform, the expression is offset = ((unsigned long)336 - (int)340) >> 3 = (int)(0xfffffffcUL >> 3) = 0x1fffffff instead. so offset becomes a large positive number on 32-bit platform, and cause xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() returns maxforkoff rather than 0. Therefore, one result is "ASSERT(new_size <= XFS_IFORK_SIZE(ip, whichfork));" assertion failure in xfs_idata_realloc(), which was also the root cause of the original bugreport from Dennis, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894177 And it can also be manually triggered with the following commands: $ touch a; $ setfattr -n user.0 -v "`seq 0 80`" a; $ setfattr -n user.1 -v "`seq 0 80`" a on 32-bit platform. Fix the case in xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit() by bailing out "XFS_LITINO(mp) < bytes" in advance suggested by Eric and a misleading comment together with this bugfix suggested by Darrick. It seems the other users of XFS_LITINO(mp) are not impacted.

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.
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.
