nilfs2: fix NULL i_assoc_inode dereference in nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map

2026-04-22T11:22:33+00:00

commit 4a4e0328edd9e9755843787d28f16dd4165f8b48 upstream. The DAT inode's btree node cache (i_assoc_inode) is initialized lazily during btree operations. However, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() assumes i_assoc_inode is already initialized when copying dirty pages to the shadow map during GC. If NILFS_IOCTL_CLEAN_SEGMENTS is called immediately after mount before any btree operation has occurred on the DAT inode, i_assoc_inode is NULL leading to a general protection fault. Fix this by calling nilfs_attach_btree_node_cache() on the DAT inode in nilfs_dat_read() at mount time, ensuring i_assoc_inode is always initialized before any GC operation can use it.

nilfs2: revise the return value description style for consistency.

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

Also for comments that do not cause kernel-doc warnings (those that list multiple error codes), revise the return value description style to match Brian G.'s suggestion of "..., or one of the following negative error codes on failure:".

nilfs2: add missing return value kernel-doc descriptions

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

There are a number of kernel-doc comments for functions that are missing return values, which also causes a number of warnings when the kernel-doc script is run with the "-Wall" option. Fix this issue by adding proper return value descriptions, and improve code maintainability.

nilfs2: correct return value kernel-doc descriptions for metadata files

2025-01-25T06:47:25+00:00

Similar to the previous changes to fix return value descriptions, this fixes the format of the return value descriptions for metadata file functions other than sufile.

nilfs2: fix missing initial short descriptions of kernel-doc comments

2024-09-02T03:43:37+00:00

Update some kernel-doc comments that are missing the initial short description and fix the following warnings output by the kernel-doc script: fs/nilfs2/bmap.c:353: warning: missing initial short description on line: * nilfs_bmap_lookup_dirty_buffers - fs/nilfs2/cpfile.c:708: warning: missing initial short description on line: * nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint - fs/nilfs2/cpfile.c:972: warning: missing initial short description on line: * nilfs_cpfile_is_snapshot - fs/nilfs2/dat.c:275: warning: missing initial short description on line: * nilfs_dat_mark_dirty - fs/nilfs2/sufile.c:844: warning: missing initial short description on line: * nilfs_sufile_get_suinfo - Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240816074319.3253-9-konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

nilfs2: fix incorrect inode allocation from reserved inodes

2024-07-03T19:29:25+00:00

If the bitmap block that manages the inode allocation status is corrupted, nilfs_ifile_create_inode() may allocate a new inode from the reserved inode area where it should not be allocated. Previous fix commit d325dc6eb763 ("nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of struct nilfs_root"), fixed the problem that reserved inodes with inode numbers less than NILFS_USER_INO (=11) were incorrectly reallocated due to bitmap corruption, but since the start number of non-reserved inodes is read from the super block and may change, in which case inode allocation may occur from the extended reserved inode area. If that happens, access to that inode will cause an IO error, causing the file system to degrade to an error state. Fix this potential issue by adding a wraparound option to the common metadata object allocation routine and by modifying nilfs_ifile_create_inode() to disable the option so that it only allocates inodes with inode numbers greater than or equal to the inode number read in "nilfs->ns_first_ino", regardless of the bitmap status of reserved inodes.

nilfs2: use div64_ul() instead of do_div()

2024-03-12T20:09:23+00:00

Fixes Coccinelle/coccicheck warnings reported by do_div.cocci. Compared to do_div(), div64_ul() does not implicitly cast the divisor and does not unnecessarily calculate the remainder.

nilfs2: prevent WARNING in nilfs_dat_commit_end()

2023-02-03T06:50:10+00:00

If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and its DAT metadata file contains invalid lifetime data for a virtual block number, a kernel warning can be generated by the WARN_ON check in nilfs_dat_commit_end() and can panic if the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn. This patch avoids the issue with a sanity check that treats it as an error. Since error return is not allowed in the execution phase of nilfs_dat_commit_end(), this inserts that sanity check in nilfs_dat_prepare_end(), which prepares for nilfs_dat_commit_end(). As the error code, -EINVAL is returned to notify bmap layer of the metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees this code, it handles the abnormal situation and replaces the return code with -EIO as it should.
