Bart Massey reported what turned out to be a usercopy whitelist false positive in JFS when symlink contents exceeded 128 bytes. The inline inode data (i_inline) is actually designed to overflow into the "extended area" following it (i_inline_ea) when needed. So the whitelist needed to be expanded to include both i_inline and i_inline_ea (the whole size of which is calculated internally using IDATASIZE, 256, instead of sizeof(i_inline), 128). $ cd /mnt/jfs $ touch $(perl -e 'print "B" x 250') $ ln -s B* b $ ls -l >/dev/null [ 249.436410] Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'jfs_ip' (offset 616, size 250)!
