Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba: "Another batch of fixes for problems that have been identified by tools analyzing code or by fuzzing. Most of them are short, two patches fix the same thing in many places so the diffs are bigger. - handle potential NULL pointer errors after attempting to read extent and checksum trees - prevent ENOSPC when creating many qgroups by ioctls in the same transaction - encoded write ioctl fixes (with 64K page and 4K block size): - fix unexpected bio length - do not let compressed bios and pages interfere with page cache - compression fixes on setups with 64K page and 4K block size: fix folio length assertions (zstd and lzo) - remap tree fixes: - make sure to hold block group reference while moving it - handle early exit when moving block group to unused list - handle deleted subvolumes with inconsistent state of deletion progress" * tag 'for-7.0-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: btrfs: reject root items with drop_progress and zero drop_level btrfs: check block group before marking it unused in balance_remap_chunks() btrfs: hold block group reference during entire move_existing_remap() btrfs: fix an incorrect ASSERT() condition inside lzo_decompress_bio() btrfs: fix an incorrect ASSERT() condition inside zstd_decompress_bio() btrfs: do not touch page cache for encoded writes btrfs: fix a bug that makes encoded write bio larger than expected btrfs: reserve enough transaction items for qgroup ioctls btrfs: check for NULL root after calls to btrfs_csum_root() btrfs: check for NULL root after calls to btrfs_extent_root()

btrfs: check for NULL root after calls to btrfs_extent_root()

2026-03-17T10:22:49+00:00

btrfs_extent_root() can return a NULL pointer in case the root we are looking for is not in the rb tree that tracks roots. So add checks to every caller that is missing such check to log a message and return an error. The same applies to callers of btrfs_block_group_root(), since it calls btrfs_extent_root().

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

btrfs: remove unreachable return after btrfs_backref_panic() in btrfs_backref_finish_upper_links()

2026-02-03T06:49:12+00:00

The return statement after btrfs_backref_panic() is unreachable since btrfs_backref_panic() calls BUG() which never returns. Remove the return to unify it with the other calls to btrfs_backref_panic(). Signed-off-by: Zhen Ni Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: use bool type for btrfs_path members used as booleans

2025-11-24T21:42:25+00:00

Many fields of struct btrfs_path are used as booleans but their type is an unsigned int (of one 1 bit width to save space). Change the type to bool keeping the :1 suffix so that they combine with the previous u8 fields in order to save space. This makes the code more clear by using explicit true/false and more in line with the preferred style, preserving the size of the structure.

btrfs: declare free_ipath() via DEFINE_FREE()

2025-11-24T21:34:51+00:00

The free_ipath() function was being used as a cleanup function everywhere. Declare it via DEFINE_FREE() so we can use this function with the __free() helper. The name has also been adjusted so it's closer to the type's name. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: use the key format macros when printing keys

Change all locations that print a key to use the new macros to print them in order to ensure a consistent style and avoid repetitive code. Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: add unlikely annotations to branches leading to EIO

2025-09-23T06:49:26+00:00

The unlikely() annotation is a static prediction hint that compiler may use to reorder code out of hot path. We use it elsewhere (namely tree-checker.c) for error branches that almost never happen, where EIO is one of them. Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana Signed-off-by: David Sterba
