Mikulas Patocka 91367af460 stat: fix inconsistency between struct stat and struct compat_stat
[ Upstream commit 932aba1e169090357a77af18850a10c256b50819 ]

struct stat (defined in arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/stat.h) has 32-bit
st_dev and st_rdev; struct compat_stat (defined in
arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h) has 16-bit st_dev and st_rdev followed by
a 16-bit padding.

This patch fixes struct compat_stat to match struct stat.

[ Historical note: the old x86 'struct stat' did have that 16-bit field
  that the compat layer had kept around, but it was changes back in 2003
  by "struct stat - support larger dev_t":

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=e95b2065677fe32512a597a79db94b77b90c968d

  and back in those days, the x86_64 port was still new, and separate
  from the i386 code, and had already picked up the old version with a
  16-bit st_dev field ]

Note that we can't change compat_dev_t because it is used by
compat_loop_info.

Also, if the st_dev and st_rdev values are 32-bit, we don't have to use
old_valid_dev to test if the value fits into them.  This fixes
-EOVERFLOW on filesystems that are on NVMe because NVMe uses the major
number 259.

README

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.
