Here I'd like to quote from the gcc document [1] which seems best to
explain what is going on here.
"Although the size of a zero-length array is zero, an array member of
this kind may increase the size of the enclosing type as a result of
tail padding. The offset of a zero-length array member from the
beginning of the enclosing structure is the same as the offset of an
array with one or more elements of the same type. The alignment of a
zero-length array is the same as the alignment of its elements.
Declaring zero-length arrays in other contexts, including as interior
members of structure objects or as non-member objects, is discouraged.
Accessing elements of zero-length arrays declared in such contexts is
undefined and may be diagnosed."
The l_hash[0] is apparnetly an interior member to the enclosed structure
while l_entries[0] is the trailing member. And the offending code tries
to access members in l_hash[0] array that triggers the diagnose.
Given that the l_entries[0] is used to get proper alignment to access
leaf chunks, we can accomplish the same thing through the ALIGN_UP macro
thus eliminating l_entries[0] from the structure. In this way we can
pacify the warning as l_hash[0] now becomes the last member to the
enclosed structure.

Apparently gcc issues the warning when trying to access sb.dev_roles
array's member, since it is a zero length array as the last element of
struct grub_raid_super_1x that is allocated sparsely without extra
chunks for the trailing bits, so the warning looks legitimate in this
regard.
As the whole thing here is doing offset computation, it is undue to use
syntax that would imply array member access then take address from it
later. Instead we could accomplish the same thing through basic array
pointer arithmetic to pacify the warning.

Add notes on LVM cache booting to the GRUB manual to help user understanding
the outstanding issue and status.
Signed-off-by: Michael Chang <mchang@suse.com>
Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>
The LVM cache logical volume is the logical volume consisting of the original
and the cache pool logical volume. The original is usually on a larger and
slower storage device while the cache pool is on a smaller and faster one. The
performance of the original volume can be improved by storing the frequently
used data on the cache pool to utilize the greater performance of faster
device.
The default cache mode "writethrough" ensures that any data written will be
stored both in the cache and on the origin LV, therefore grub can be straight
to read the original lv as no data loss is guarenteed.
The second cache mode is "writeback", which delays writing from the cache pool
back to the origin LV to have increased performance. The drawback is potential
data loss if losing the associated cache device.
During the boot time grub reads the LVM offline i.e. LVM volumes are not
activated and mounted, hence it should be fine to read directly from original
lv since all cached data should have been flushed back in the process of taking
it offline.
It is also not much helpful to the situation by adding fsync calls to the
install code. The fsync did not force to write back dirty cache to the original
device and rather it would update associated cache metadata to complete the
write transaction with the cache device. IOW the writes to cached blocks still
go only to the cache device.
To write back dirty cache, as LVM cache did not support dirty cache flush per
block range, there'no way to do it for file. On the other hand the "cleaner"
policy is implemented and can be used to write back "all" dirty blocks in a
cache, which effectively drain all dirty cache gradually to attain and last in
the "clean" state, which can be useful for shrinking or decommissioning a
cache. The result and effect is not what we are looking for here.
In conclusion, as it seems no way to enforce file writes to the original
device, grub may suffer from power failure as it cannot assemble the cache
device and read the dirty data from it. However since the case is only
applicable to writeback mode which is sensitive to data lost in nature, I'd
still like to propose my (relatively simple) patch and treat reading dirty
cache as improvement.

We are often bothered by this sort of lvm warning while running grub-install
every now and then:
File descriptor 4 (/dev/vda1) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 1991: /usr/sbin/grub2-install
The requirement related to the warning is dictated in the lvm man page:
"On invocation, lvm requires that only the standard file descriptors stdin,
stdout and stderr are available. If others are found, they get closed and
messages are issued warning about the leak. This warning can be suppressed by
setting the environment variable LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS."
While it could be disabled through settings, most Linux distributions seem to
enable it by default and the justification provided by the developer looks to
be valid to me: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466138#15
Rather than trying to close and reopen the file descriptor to the same file
multiple times, which is rather cumbersome, for the sake of no vgs invocation
could happen in between. This patch enables the close-on-exec flag (O_CLOEXEC)
for new file descriptor returned by the open() system call, making it closed
thus not inherited by the child process forked and executed by the exec()
family of functions.

The function grub_get_node_path() could return uninitialized offset with

by function grub_f2fs_get_block() because level == 0 is valid and

The fix is to set level = -1 as return value by grub_get_node_path() to
signify an error that the input block cannot be handled. Any caller
should therefore check level is negative or not before processing the

common rule of what opens a file has to close it to avoid file

After all the design of grub_verify_signature() makes it difficult to keep
a good trace on opened file descriptor from it's caller. Let's refine
the application interface to accept file path rather than descriptor, in
this way the caller doesn't have to care about closing the descriptor by
delegating it to grub_verify_signature() with full tracing to opened
file descriptor by itself.
Also making it clear that sig descriptor is not referenced in error
returning path of grub_verify_signature_init(), so it can be closed
directly by it's caller. This also makes delegating it to
grub_pubkey_close() infeasible to help in relieving file descriptor
leakage as it has to depend on uncertainty of ctxt fields in error
returning path.

function properly on big-endian systems.
Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by
default. The Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC4861) has defined default
MaxRtrAdvInterval value as 600 seconds and
MinRtrAdvInterval as 0.33*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This makes
net_ipv6_autoconf fails more often than not as currently it passively
listens the RA message to perfom address autoconfiguration.
This patch tries to send router solicitation to overcome the problem of
long RA interval.
v2:
use cpu_to_be macro for network byte order conversion
add missing error handling
The structure size used in grub_netbuff_pull to get the pointer to
option header is apparently wrong, which leads to subsequent range check
failed and therefore not responding to any neighbor solicit message in my
testing.
We encountered a weird random kernel initrd unpacking error on btrfs
and finally found it was caused by incorrect address reference in range
check for type GRUB_BTRFS_EXTENT_REGULAR and the entire result is
unpredictable.
This is a quick fix to make the address reference to the
grub_btrfs_extent_data structure correctly, not the pointer variable
to it.
Any suggestions to this patch is welcome.
