btrfs: prevent use-after-free on page private data in btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate()

2026-02-06T15:44:24+00:00

This is a stable-only patch. The issue was inadvertently fixed in 6.17 [0] as part of a refactoring, but this patch serves as a minimal targeted fix for prior kernels. Users of find_lock_page() need to guard against the situation where releasepage() has been invoked during reclaim but the page was ultimately not removed from the page cache. This patch covers one location that was overlooked. After acquiring the page, use set_page_extent_mapped() to ensure the page private state is valid. This is especially important in the subpage case, where the private field is an allocated struct containing bitmap and lock data. Without this protection, the race below is possible: [mm] page cache reclaim path [fs] relocation in subpage mode shrink_page_list() trylock_page() /* lock acquired */ try_to_release_page() mapping->a_ops->releasepage() btrfs_releasepage() __btrfs_releasepage() clear_page_extent_mapped() btrfs_detach_subpage() subpage = detach_page_private(page) btrfs_free_subpage(subpage) kfree(subpage) /* point A */ prealloc_file_extent_cluster() find_lock_page() page_cache_get_speculative() lock_page() /* wait for lock */ if (...) ... else if (!mapping || !__remove_mapping(..)) /* * __remove_mapping() returns zero when * page_ref_freeze(page, refcount) fails /* point B */ */ goto keep_locked /* page remains in cache */ keep_locked: unlock_page(page) /* lock released */ /* lock acquired */ btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate() /* use-after-free */ subpage = page->private [0] 4e346baee95f ("btrfs: reloc: unconditionally invalidate the page cache for each cluster") Fixes: 9d9ea1e68a05 ("btrfs: subpage: fix relocation potentially overwriting last page data") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.15 - 6.9 Signed-off-by: JP Kobryn Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

btrfs: fix clearing of BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING if relocation already running

2025-10-29T13:04:30+00:00

commit 7e5a5983edda664e8e4bb20af17b80f5135c655c upstream. When starting relocation, at reloc_chunk_start(), if we happen to find the flag BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING is already set we return an error (-EINPROGRESS) to the callers, however the callers call reloc_chunk_end() which will clear the flag BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING, which is wrong since relocation was started by another task and still running. Finding the BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING flag already set is an unexpected scenario, but still our current behaviour is not correct. Fix this by never calling reloc_chunk_end() if reloc_chunk_start() has returned an error, which is what logically makes sense, since the general widespread pattern is to have end functions called only if the counterpart start functions succeeded. This requires changing reloc_chunk_start() to clear BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING if there's a pending cancel request.

btrfs: do not allow relocation of partially dropped subvolumes

2025-08-28T14:26:04+00:00

commit 4289b494ac553e74e86fed1c66b2bf9530bc1082 upstream. [BUG] There is an internal report that balance triggered transaction abort, with the following call trace: item 85 key (594509824 169 0) itemoff 12599 itemsize 33 extent refs 1 gen 197740 flags 2 ref#0: tree block backref root 7 item 86 key (594558976 169 0) itemoff 12566 itemsize 33 extent refs 1 gen 197522 flags 2 ref#0: tree block backref root 7 ...

[CAUSE] The cause is a little complex, firstly the extent tree indeed doesn't have the backref for 594526208. The extent tree only have the following two backrefs around that bytenr on-disk: item 65 key (594509824 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13880 itemsize 33 refs 1 gen 197740 flags TREE_BLOCK tree block skinny level 0 (176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE item 66 key (594558976 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13847 itemsize 33 refs 1 gen 197522 flags TREE_BLOCK tree block skinny level 0 (176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE But the such missing backref item is not an corruption on disk, as the offending delayed ref belongs to subvolume 934, and that subvolume is being dropped: item 0 key (934 ROOT_ITEM 198229) itemoff 15844 itemsize 439 generation 198229 root_dirid 256 bytenr 10741039104 byte_limit 0 bytes_used 345571328 last_snapshot 198229 flags 0x1000000000001(RDONLY) refs 0 drop_progress key (206324 EXTENT_DATA 2711650304) drop_level 2 level 2 generation_v2 198229 And that offending tree block 594526208 is inside the dropped range of that subvolume. That explains why there is no backref item for that bytenr and why btrfs check is not reporting anything wrong. But this also shows another problem, as btrfs will do all the orphan subvolume cleanup at a read-write mount. So half-dropped subvolume should not exist after an RW mount, and balance itself is also exclusive to subvolume cleanup, meaning we shouldn't hit a subvolume half-dropped during relocation. The root cause is, there is no orphan item for this subvolume. In fact there are 5 subvolumes from around 2021 that have the same problem. It looks like the original report has some older kernels running, and caused those zombie subvolumes. Thankfully upstream commit 8d488a8c7ba2 ("btrfs: fix subvolume/snapshot deletion not triggered on mount") has long fixed the bug. [ENHANCEMENT] For repairing such old fs, btrfs-progs will be enhanced. Considering how delayed the problem will show up (at run delayed ref time) and at that time we have to abort transaction already, it is too late. Instead here we reject any half-dropped subvolume for reloc tree at the earliest time, preventing confusion and extra time wasted on debugging similar bugs.

btrfs: check folio mapping after unlock in relocate_one_folio()

2025-06-04T12:40:22+00:00

commit 3e74859ee35edc33a022c3f3971df066ea0ca6b9 upstream. When we call btrfs_read_folio() to bring a folio uptodate, we unlock the folio. The result of that is that a different thread can modify the mapping (like remove it with invalidate) before we call folio_lock(). This results in an invalid page and we need to try again. In particular, if we are relocating concurrently with aborting a transaction, this can result in a crash like the following: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 76 PID: 1411631 Comm: kworker/u322:5 Workqueue: events_unbound btrfs_reclaim_bgs_work RIP: 0010:set_page_extent_mapped+0x20/0xb0 RSP: 0018:ffffc900516a7be8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffffea009e851d08 RBX: ffffea009e0b1880 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffc900516a7b90 RDI: ffffea009e0b1880 RBP: 0000000003573000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffff88c07fd2f3f0 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000194754b575be R12: 0000000003572000 R13: 0000000003572fff R14: 0000000000100cca R15: 0000000005582fff FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88c07fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000407d00f002 CR4: 00000000007706f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: ? __die+0x78/0xc0 ? page_fault_oops+0x2a8/0x3a0 ? __switch_to+0x133/0x530 ? wq_worker_running+0xa/0x40 ? exc_page_fault+0x63/0x130 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30 ? set_page_extent_mapped+0x20/0xb0 relocate_file_extent_cluster+0x1a7/0x940 relocate_data_extent+0xaf/0x120 relocate_block_group+0x20f/0x480 btrfs_relocate_block_group+0x152/0x320 btrfs_relocate_chunk+0x3d/0x120 btrfs_reclaim_bgs_work+0x2ae/0x4e0 process_scheduled_works+0x184/0x370 worker_thread+0xc6/0x3e0 ? blk_add_timer+0xb0/0xb0 kthread+0xae/0xe0 ? flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x90/0x90 ret_from_fork+0x2f/0x40 ? flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x90/0x90 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 This occurs because cleanup_one_transaction() calls destroy_delalloc_inodes() which calls invalidate_inode_pages2() which takes the folio_lock before setting mapping to NULL. We fail to check this, and subsequently call set_extent_mapping(), which assumes that mapping != NULL (in fact it asserts that in debug mode) Note that the "fixes" patch here is not the one that introduced the race (the very first iteration of this code from 2009) but a more recent change that made this particular crash happen in practice.

Then we continue the error path cleanup in btrfs_balance() by calling reset_balance_state() which will call del_balance_item() to fully delete the balance item in the root tree. However during the small window between set_reloc_contrl() and unset_reloc_control(), we can have a subvolume tree update and created a reloc_root for that subvolume. Then we go into the final btrfs_commit_transaction() of del_balance_item(), and into btrfs_update_reloc_root() inside commit_fs_roots(). That function checks if fs_info->reloc_ctl is in the merge_reloc_tree stage, but since fs_info->reloc_ctl is NULL, it results a NULL pointer dereference. [FIX] Just add extra check on fs_info->reloc_ctl inside btrfs_update_reloc_root(), before checking fs_info->reloc_ctl->merge_reloc_tree. That DEAD_RELOC_TREE handling is to prevent further modification to the reloc tree during merge stage, but since there is no reloc_ctl at all, we do not need to bother that.

btrfs: exit gracefully if reloc roots don't match

commit 05d7ce504545f7874529701664c90814ca645c5d upstream. [BUG] Syzbot reported a crash that an ASSERT() got triggered inside prepare_to_merge(). [CAUSE] The root cause of the triggered ASSERT() is we can have a race between quota tree creation and relocation. This leads us to create a duplicated quota tree in the btrfs_read_fs_root() path, and since it's treated as fs tree, it would have ROOT_SHAREABLE flag, causing us to create a reloc tree for it. The bug itself is fixed by a dedicated patch for it, but this already taught us the ASSERT() is not something straightforward for developers. [ENHANCEMENT] Instead of using an ASSERT(), let's handle it gracefully and output extra info about the mismatch reloc roots to help debug. Also with the above ASSERT() removed, we can trigger ASSERT(0)s inside merge_reloc_roots() later. Also replace those ASSERT(0)s with WARN_ON()s.

btrfs: add helper to replace extent map range with a new extent map

2022-09-29T15:08:30+00:00

We have several places that need to drop all the extent maps in a given file range and then add a new extent map for that range. Currently they call btrfs_drop_extent_map_range() to delete all extent maps in the range and then keep trying to add the new extent map in a loop that keeps retrying while the insertion of the new extent map fails with -EEXIST. So instead of repeating this logic, add a helper to extent_map.c that does these steps and name it btrfs_replace_extent_map_range(). Also add a comment about why the retry loop is necessary.
