Source: linux Version: 5.10.46-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: hlieberman@debian.org Hello Kernel maintainers, Due to a bug in tmpfs handling of inodes, it's possible to run into inode collisions on heavily loaded tmpfs filesystems. This problem is described in detail in https://chrisdown.name/2021/07/02/tmpfs-inode-corruption-introducing-inode64.html and has been applied by default in Arch. Considering the potential for extremely hard to track failures and the fact that this has been widely deployed already, I suggest that we enable CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 by default. I will be making an MR in Gitlab to this effect. Sincerely, -- Harlan Lieberman-Berg ~hlieberman
