jfs: nlink overflow in jfs_rename

2026-03-04T12:20:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9218dc26fd922b09858ecd3666ed57dfd8098da8 ] If nlink is maximal for a directory (-1) and inside that directory you perform a rename for some child directory (not moving from the parent), then the nlink of the first directory is first incremented and later decremented. Normally this is fine, but when nlink = -1 this causes a wrap around to 0, and then drop_nlink issues a warning. After applying the patch syzbot no longer issues any warnings. I also ran some basic fs tests to look for any regressions.

jfs: Add missing set_freezable() for freezable kthread

2026-03-04T12:20:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit eb0cfcf265714b419cc3549895a00632e76732ae ] The jfsIOWait() thread calls try_to_freeze() but lacks set_freezable(), causing it to remain non-freezable by default. This prevents proper freezing during system suspend. Add set_freezable() to make the thread freezable as intended.

jfs: avoid -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning

2026-02-26T22:59:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7833570dae833028337bb53b7f389825b910c100 ] A recent change for the range check started triggering a clang warning: fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:2906:31: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] 2906 | if (stbl[i] < 0 || stbl[i] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) { | ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:3111:30: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare] 3111 | if (stbl[0] < 0 || stbl[0] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) { | ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both the old and the new check were useless, but the previous version apparently did not lead to the warning. Remove the extraneous range check for simplicity.

jfs: replace hardcoded magic number with DTPAGEMAXSLOT constant

2025-09-18T14:09:21+00:00

Replace hardcoded value 127 with DTPAGEMAXSLOT constant in boundary checks within jfs_readdir() and dtReadFirst(). This improves code maintainability and ensures consistency with the defined maximum slot value. Signed-off-by: Zheng Yu Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

JFS: Remove redundant 0 value initialization

2025-09-18T14:08:11+00:00

The jfs_log struct is already zeroed by kzalloc(). It's redundant to initialize dummy_log->base to 0. Signed-off-by: Liao Yuanhong Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

JFS: Remove unnecessary parentheses

2025-09-18T14:08:11+00:00

When using &, it's unnecessary to have parentheses afterward. Remove redundant parentheses to enhance readability. Signed-off-by: Liao Yuanhong Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

jfs: fix uninitialized waitqueue in transaction manager

2025-09-18T14:08:11+00:00

The transaction manager initialization in txInit() was not properly initializing TxBlock[0].waitor waitqueue, causing a crash when txEnd(0) is called on read-only filesystems. When a filesystem is mounted read-only, txBegin() returns tid=0 to indicate no transaction. However, txEnd(0) still gets called and tries to access TxBlock[0].waitor via tid_to_tblock(0), but this waitqueue was never initialized because the initialization loop started at index 1 instead of 0. This causes a 'non-static key' lockdep warning and system crash: INFO: trying to register non-static key in txEnd Fix by ensuring all transaction blocks including TxBlock[0] have their waitqueues properly initialized during txInit().

jfs: Verify inode mode when loading from disk

2025-09-18T14:08:11+00:00

The inode mode loaded from corrupted disk can be invalid. Do like what commit 0a9e74051313 ("isofs: Verify inode mode when loading from disk") does. Reported-by: syzbot Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=895c23f6917da440ed0d Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

treewide: remove MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS

2025-09-13T23:54:50+00:00

At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users, and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success" return value that the code uses and expects. Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0" for success.
