Doesn't the EFI runtime should also try to read the whole file? Or that EFI environment has specified the length to read instead? > > Signed-off-by: Sam Edwards <CFSworks@gmail.com> Anyway, the fix looks good to me.

On x86 platforms, the chunk size is 1MB, and the comments explain that this is to work around firmware implementations that have problems with large reads. On non-x86 platforms, the chunk size is ULONG_MAX -- which in practice means it reads the whole file in one exact-filesize chunk. So, to answer your questions: "either/both depending on platform." (The bug in the U-Boot implementation doubtlessly affects more than just EFI; I only happened to discover it while trying to use EFI.) >> >> Signed-off-by: Sam Edwards <CFSworks@gmail.com> > > Anyway, the fix looks good to me. > > Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Thank you greatly for the review! > > Thanks, > Qu Likewise, Sam

The btrfs read function limits the read length to ensure that it and the read offset do not together exceed the size of the file. However, this size was only being queried if the read length was passed a value of zero (meaning "whole file"), and the size is defaulted to 0 otherwise. This means the clamp will just zero out the length if one is specified, preventing reading of the file. Fix this by checking the file size unconditionally, and unifying the default length and clamping logic as a single range check instead. This bug was discovered when trying to boot Linux with initrd= via 'bootefi' from a btrfs partition. The EFI stub entered an infinite loop of zero-length reads while trying to read the initrd, and the boot process stalled indefinitely.
