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)!

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
