hfsplus: ensure sb->s_fs_info is always cleaned up

2026-03-04T12:20:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 126fb0ce99431126b44a6c360192668c818f641f ] When hfsplus was converted to the new mount api a bug was introduced by changing the allocation pattern of sb->s_fs_info. If setup_bdev_super() fails after a new superblock has been allocated by sget_fc(), but before hfsplus_fill_super() takes ownership of the filesystem-specific s_fs_info data it was leaked. Fix this by freeing sb->s_fs_info in hfsplus_kill_super().

hfsplus: return error when node already exists in hfs_bnode_create

2026-02-26T22:58:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit d8a73cc46c8462a969a7516131feb3096f4c49d3 ] When hfs_bnode_create() finds that a node is already hashed (which should not happen in normal operation), it currently returns the existing node without incrementing its reference count. This causes a reference count inconsistency that leads to a kernel panic when the node is later freed in hfs_bnode_put(): kernel BUG at fs/hfsplus/bnode.c:676! BUG_ON(!atomic_read(&node->refcnt)) This scenario can occur when hfs_bmap_alloc() attempts to allocate a node that is already in use (e.g., when node 0's bitmap bit is incorrectly unset), or due to filesystem corruption. Returning an existing node from a create path is not normal operation. Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of the node when it's already hashed. This properly signals the error condition to callers, which already check for IS_ERR() return values.

It means that HFS+ logic decrements the number of entries in testdir_1 and increments number of entries in testdir_2. Finally, we do fsync only for testdir_1 and foo but not for testdir_2. As a result, this is the reason why fsck.hfsplus detects the volume corruption afterwards. This patch fixes the issue by means of adding the hfsplus_cat_write_inode() call for old_dir and new_dir in hfsplus_rename() after the successful ending of hfsplus_rename_cat(). This method makes modification of in-core inode objects for old_dir and new_dir but it doesn't save these modifications in Catalog File's entries. It was expected that hfsplus_write_inode() will save these modifications afterwards. However, because generic/073 does fsync only for testdir_1 and foo then testdir_2 modification hasn't beed saved into Catalog File's entry and it was flushed without this modification. And it was detected by fsck.hfsplus. Now, hfsplus_rename() stores in Catalog File all modified entries and correct state of Catalog File will be flushed during hfsplus_file_fsync() call. Finally, it makes fsck.hfsplus happy. sudo ./check generic/073 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.18.0-rc3+ #93 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Nov 12 14:37:49 PST 2025 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/073 32s ... 32s Ran: generic/073 Passed all 1 tests Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251112232522.814038-1-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

hfsplus: Verify inode mode when loading from disk

[ Upstream commit 005d4b0d33f6b4a23d382b7930f7a96b95b01f39 ] syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when the S_IFMT bits of the 16bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted. According to [1], the permissions field was treated as reserved in Mac OS 8 and 9. According to [2], the reserved field was explicitly initialized with 0, and that field must remain 0 as long as reserved. Therefore, when the "mode" field is not 0 (i.e. no longer reserved), the file must be S_IFDIR if dir == 1, and the file must be one of S_IFREG/S_IFLNK/S_IFCHR/ S_IFBLK/S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK if dir == 0.

hfsplus: fix missing hfs_bnode_get() in __hfs_bnode_create

2026-01-02T11:56:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 152af114287851583cf7e0abc10129941f19466a ] When sync() and link() are called concurrently, both threads may enter hfs_bnode_find() without finding the node in the hash table and proceed to create it. Thread A: hfsplus_write_inode() -> hfsplus_write_system_inode() -> hfs_btree_write() -> hfs_bnode_find(tree, 0) -> __hfs_bnode_create(tree, 0) Thread B: hfsplus_create_cat() -> hfs_brec_insert() -> hfs_bnode_split() -> hfs_bmap_alloc() -> hfs_bnode_find(tree, 0) -> __hfs_bnode_create(tree, 0) In this case, thread A creates the bnode, sets refcnt=1, and hashes it. Thread B also tries to create the same bnode, notices it has already been inserted, drops its own instance, and uses the hashed one without getting the node. ``` node2 = hfs_bnode_findhash(tree, cnid); if (!node2) { <- Thread A hash = hfs_bnode_hash(cnid); node->next_hash = tree->node_hash[hash]; tree->node_hash[hash] = node; tree->node_hash_cnt++; } else { <- Thread B spin_unlock(&tree->hash_lock); kfree(node); wait_event(node2->lock_wq, !test_bit(HFS_BNODE_NEW, &node2->flags)); return node2; } ``` However, hfs_bnode_find() requires each call to take a reference. Here both threads end up setting refcnt=1. When they later put the node, this triggers: BUG_ON(!atomic_read(&node->refcnt)) In this scenario, Thread B in fact finds the node in the hash table rather than creating a new one, and thus must take a reference. Fix this by calling hfs_bnode_get() when reusing a bnode newly created by another thread to ensure the refcount is updated correctly. A similar bug was fixed in HFS long ago in commit a9dc087fd3c4 ("fix missing hfs_bnode_get() in __hfs_bnode_create") but the same issue remained in HFS+ until now.

It is possible to see that fsck.hfsplus detected not erased and unused node for the case of extents overflow file. The HFS+ logic has special method that defines if the node should be erased: bool hfs_bnode_need_zeroout(struct hfs_btree *tree) { struct super_block *sb = tree->inode->i_sb; struct hfsplus_sb_info *sbi = HFSPLUS_SB(sb); const u32 volume_attr = be32_to_cpu(sbi->s_vhdr->attributes); return tree->cnid == HFSPLUS_CAT_CNID && volume_attr & HFSPLUS_VOL_UNUSED_NODE_FIX; } However, it is possible to see that this method works only for the case of catalog file. But debugging of the issue has shown that HFSPLUS_VOL_UNUSED_NODE_FIX attribute has been requested for the extents overflow file too: catalog file kernel: hfsplus: node 4, num_recs 0, flags 0x10 kernel: hfsplus: tree->cnid 4, volume_attr 0x80000800 extents overflow file kernel: hfsplus: node 1, num_recs 0, flags 0x10 kernel: hfsplus: tree->cnid 3, volume_attr 0x80000800 This patch modifies the hfs_bnode_need_zeroout() by checking only volume_attr but not the b-tree ID because node zeroing can be requested for all HFS+ b-tree types. sudo ./check generic/070 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.18.0-rc3+ #79 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Oct 31 16:07:42 PDT 2025 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/070 33s ... 34s Ran: generic/070 Passed all 1 tests Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251101001229.247432-1-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
