f2fs: fix UAF caused by decrementing sbi->nr_pages[] in f2fs_write_end_io()

2026-05-17T15:13:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d9c4a4ed4eef1f82c5b16b037aee8bad819fd53 ] The xfstests case "generic/107" and syzbot have both reported a NULL pointer dereference. The concurrent scenario that triggers the panic is as follows: F2FS_WB_CP_DATA write callback umount - f2fs_write_checkpoint - f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA) - blk_mq_end_request - bio_endio - f2fs_write_end_io : dec_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA) : wake_up(&sbi->cp_wait) - kill_f2fs_super - kill_block_super - f2fs_put_super : iput(sbi->node_inode) : sbi->node_inode = NULL : f2fs_in_warm_node_list - is_node_folio // sbi->node_inode is NULL and panic The root cause is that f2fs_put_super() calls iput(sbi->node_inode) and sets sbi->node_inode to NULL after sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA] is decremented to zero. As a result, f2fs_in_warm_node_list() may dereference a NULL node_inode when checking whether a folio belongs to the node inode, leading to a panic. This patch fixes the issue by calling f2fs_in_warm_node_list() before decrementing sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA], thus preventing the use-after-free condition.

f2fs: fix incorrect multidevice info in trace_f2fs_map_blocks()

2026-05-17T15:13:43+00:00

commit eb2ca3ca983551a80e16a4a25df5a4ce59df8484 upstream. When f2fs_map_blocks()->f2fs_map_blocks_cached() hits the read extent cache, map->m_multidev_dio is not updated, which leads to incorrect multidevice information being reported by trace_f2fs_map_blocks(). This patch updates map->m_multidev_dio in f2fs_map_blocks_cached() when the read extent cache is hit.

f2fs: fix fiemap boundary handling when read extent cache is incomplete

2026-05-17T15:13:43+00:00

commit 95e159ad3e52f7478cfd22e44ec37c9f334f8993 upstream. f2fs_fiemap() calls f2fs_map_blocks() to obtain the block mapping a file, and then merges contiguous mappings into extents. If the mapping is found in the read extent cache, node blocks do not need to be read. However, in the following scenario, a contiguous extent can be split into two extents: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.128M bs=1M count=128 $ losetup -f data.128M $ mkfs.f2fs /dev/loop0 -f $ mount -o mode=lfs /dev/loop0 /mnt/f2fs/ $ cd /mnt/f2fs/ $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.72M bs=1M count=72 && sync $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.4M bs=1M count=4 && sync $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.4M bs=1M count=2 seek=2 conv=notrunc && sync $ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.4M bs=1M count=2 seek=0 conv=notrunc && sync $ dd if=/dev/zero of=data.4M bs=1M count=2 seek=0 conv=notrunc && sync $ f2fs_io fiemap 0 1024 data.4M Fiemap: offset = 0 len = 1024 logical addr. physical addr. length flags 0 0000000000000000 0000000006400000 0000000000200000 00001000 1 0000000000200000 0000000006600000 0000000000200000 00001001 Although the physical addresses of the ranges 0～2MB and 2M～4MB are contiguous, the mapping for the 2M～4MB range is not present in memory. When the physical addresses for the 0～2MB range are updated, no merge happens because the adjacent mapping is missing from the in-memory cache. As a result, fiemap reports two separate extents instead of a single contiguous one. The root cause is that the read extent cache does not guarantee that all blocks of an extent are present in memory. Therefore, when the extent length returned by f2fs_map_blocks_cached() is smaller than maxblocks, the remaining mappings are retrieved via f2fs_get_dnode_of_data() to ensure correct fiemap extent boundary handling.

f2fs: fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile

2026-02-19T15:28:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5c145c03188bc9ba1c29e0bc4d527a5978fc47f9 ] Xiaolong Guo reported a f2fs bug in bugzilla [1] [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220951 Quoted: "When using stress-ng's swap stress test on F2FS filesystem with kernel 6.6+, the system experiences data corruption leading to either: 1 dm-verity corruption errors and device reboot 2 F2FS node corruption errors and boot hangs The issue occurs specifically when: 1 Using F2FS filesystem (ext4 is unaffected) 2 Swapfile size is less than F2FS section size (2MB) 3 Swapfile has fragmented physical layout (multiple non-contiguous extents) 4 Kernel version is 6.6+ (6.1 is unaffected) The root cause is in check_swap_activate() function in fs/f2fs/data.c. When the first extent of a small swapfile (< 2MB) is not aligned to section boundaries, the function incorrectly treats it as the last extent, failing to map subsequent extents. This results in incorrect swap_extent creation where only the first extent is mapped, causing subsequent swap writes to overwrite wrong physical locations (other files' data). Steps to Reproduce 1 Setup a device with F2FS-formatted userdata partition 2 Compile stress-ng from https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng 3 Run swap stress test: (Android devices) adb shell "cd /data/stressng; ./stress-ng-64 --metrics-brief --timeout 60 --swap 0" Log: 1 Ftrace shows in kernel 6.6, only first extent is mapped during second f2fs_map_blocks call in check_swap_activate(): stress-ng-swap-8990: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=11002, file offset=0, start blkaddr=0x43143, len=0x1 (Only 4KB mapped, not the full swapfile) 2 in kernel 6.1, both extents are correctly mapped: stress-ng-swap-5966: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=28011, file offset=0, start blkaddr=0x13cd4, len=0x1 stress-ng-swap-5966: f2fs_map_blocks: ino=28011, file offset=1, start blkaddr=0x60c84b, len=0xff The problematic code is in check_swap_activate(): if ((pblock - SM_I(sbi)->main_blkaddr) % blks_per_sec || nr_pblocks % blks_per_sec || !f2fs_valid_pinned_area(sbi, pblock)) { bool last_extent = false; not_aligned++; nr_pblocks = roundup(nr_pblocks, blks_per_sec); if (cur_lblock + nr_pblocks > sis->max) nr_pblocks -= blks_per_sec; /* this extent is last one */ if (!nr_pblocks) { nr_pblocks = last_lblock - cur_lblock; last_extent = true; } ret = f2fs_migrate_blocks(inode, cur_lblock, nr_pblocks); if (ret) { if (ret == -ENOENT) ret = -EINVAL; goto out; } if (!last_extent) goto retry; } When the first extent is unaligned and roundup(nr_pblocks, blks_per_sec) exceeds sis->max, we subtract blks_per_sec resulting in nr_pblocks = 0. The code then incorrectly assumes this is the last extent, sets nr_pblocks = last_lblock - cur_lblock (entire swapfile), and performs migration. After migration, it doesn't retry mapping, so subsequent extents are never processed. " In order to fix this issue, we need to lookup block mapping info after we migrate all blocks in the tail of swapfile.
