[ Upstream commit 90c500e4fd83fa33c09bc7ee23b6d9cc487ac733 ]

hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search
structure, which acquires tree-&gt;tree_lock. If the subsequent call to
hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root
error label without releasing the lock. The later cleanup path then
frees the tree data structure with the lock still held, triggering a
held lock freed warning.

Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&amp;fd) call before jumping
to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree-&gt;tree_lock is
properly released on the error path.

The bug was originally detected on v6.13-rc1 using an experimental
static analysis tool we are developing, and we have verified that the
issue persists in the latest mainline kernel. The tool is specifically
designed to detect memory management issues. It is currently under active
development and not yet publicly available.

We confirmed the bug by runtime testing under QEMU with x86_64 defconfig,
lockdep enabled, and CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y. To trigger the error path, we
used GDB to dynamically shrink the max_unistr_len parameter to 1 before
hfsplus_asc2uni() is called. This forces hfsplus_asc2uni() to naturally
return -ENAMETOOLONG, which propagates to hfsplus_cat_build_key() and
exercises the faulty error path. The following warning was observed
during mount:

<title>hfsplus: fix uninit-value by validating catalog record size</title>

[ Upstream commit b6b592275aeff184aa82fcf6abccd833fb71b393 ]

Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value issue in hfsplus_strcasecmp(). The
root cause is that hfs_brec_read() doesn't validate that the on-disk
record size matches the expected size for the record type being read.

When mounting a corrupted filesystem, hfs_brec_read() may read less data
than expected. For example, when reading a catalog thread record, the
debug output showed:

  HFSPLUS_BREC_READ: rec_len=520, fd-&gt;entrylength=26
  HFSPLUS_BREC_READ: WARNING - entrylength (26) &lt; rec_len (520) - PARTIAL READ!

hfs_brec_read() only validates that entrylength is not greater than the
buffer size, but doesn't check if it's less than expected. It successfully
reads 26 bytes into a 520-byte structure and returns success, leaving 494
bytes uninitialized.

This uninitialized data in tmp.thread.nodeName then gets copied by
hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() and used by hfsplus_strcasecmp(), triggering
the KMSAN warning when the uninitialized bytes are used as array indices
in case_fold().

Fix by introducing hfsplus_brec_read_cat() wrapper that:
1. Calls hfs_brec_read() to read the data
2. Validates the record size based on the type field:
   - Fixed size for folder and file records
   - Variable size for thread records (depends on string length)
3. Returns -EIO if size doesn't match expected

For thread records, check against HFSPLUS_MIN_THREAD_SZ before reading
nodeName.length to avoid reading uninitialized data at call sites that
don't zero-initialize the entry structure.

Also initialize the tmp variable in hfsplus_find_cat() as defensive
programming to ensure no uninitialized data even if validation is
bypassed.

[ Upstream commit 126fb0ce99431126b44a6c360192668c818f641f ]

When hfsplus was converted to the new mount api a bug was introduced by
changing the allocation pattern of sb-&gt;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-&gt;s_fs_info in hfsplus_kill_super().

"Simulate a power failure and mount the filesystem

_flakey_drop_and_remount

The FSCK tool complains about "Invalid leaf record count".
HFS+ b-tree header contains leaf_count field is updated
by hfs_brec_insert() and hfs_brec_remove(). The hfs_brec_insert()
is involved into hard link creation process. However,
modified in-core leaf_count field is stored into HFS+
b-tree header by hfs_btree_write() method. But,
unfortunately, hfs_btree_write() hasn't been called
by hfsplus_cat_write_inode() and hfsplus_file_fsync()
stores not fully consistent state of the Catalog File's
b-tree.

This patch adds calling hfs_btree_write() method in
the hfsplus_cat_write_inode() with the goal of
storing consistent state of Catalog File's b-tree.
Finally, it makes FSCK tool happy.

The generic/480 test executes such steps on final phase:

"Now remove of the links of our file and create
a new file with the same name and in the same
parent directory, and finally fsync this new file."

unlink $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar
touch $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir/bar

"Simulate a power failure and mount the filesystem
to check that replaying the fsync log/journal
succeeds, that is the mount operation does not fail."

_flakey_drop_and_remount

The key issue in HFS+ logic is that hfsplus_link(),
hfsplus_unlink(), hfsplus_rmdir(), hfsplus_symlink(),
and hfsplus_mknod() methods don't call
hfsplus_cat_write_inode() for the case of modified
inode objects. As a result, even if hfsplus_file_fsync()
is trying to flush the dirty Catalog File, but because of
not calling hfsplus_cat_write_inode() not all modified
inodes save the new state into Catalog File's records.
Finally, simulation of power failure results in inconsistent
state of Catalog File and FSCK tool reports about
volume corruption.

This patch adds calling of hfsplus_cat_write_inode()
method for modified inodes in hfsplus_link(),
hfsplus_unlink(), hfsplus_rmdir(), hfsplus_symlink(),
and hfsplus_mknod() methods. Also, it adds debug output
in several methods.

<title>hfsplus: return error when node already exists in hfs_bnode_create</title>

[ 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(&amp;node-&gt;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.

The xfstests' test-case generic/101 leaves HFS+ volume
in corrupted state:

This test executes such steps: "Test that if we truncate a file
to a smaller size, then truncate it to its original size or
a larger size, then fsyncing it and a power failure happens,
the file will have the range [first_truncate_size, last_size[ with
all bytes having a value of 0x00 if we read it the next time
the filesystem is mounted.".

HFS+ keeps volume's free block count in the superblock.
However, hfsplus_file_fsync() doesn't store superblock's
content. As a result, superblock contains not correct
value of free blocks if a power failure happens.

This patch adds functionality of saving superblock's
content during hfsplus_file_fsync() call.

The test is doing these steps on final phase:

mv $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2/bar
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

So, we move file bar from testdir_1 into testdir_2 folder. 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.

[ Upstream commit 005d4b0d33f6b4a23d382b7930f7a96b95b01f39 ]

syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode-&gt;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.
