nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang

2026-02-16T09:17:48+00:00

commit ed527ef0c264e4bed6c7b2a158ddf516b17f5f66 upstream. When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1]. If the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to attempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang. Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case) to range->len. Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small, a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not throw an error.

nilfs2: fix deadlock warnings caused by lock dependency in init_nilfs()

2025-10-23T14:16:38+00:00

commit fb881cd7604536b17a1927fb0533f9a6982ffcc5 upstream. After commit c0e473a0d226 ("block: fix race between set_blocksize and read paths") was merged, set_blocksize() called by sb_set_blocksize() now locks the inode of the backing device file. As a result of this change, syzbot started reporting deadlock warnings due to a circular dependency involving the semaphore "ns_sem" of the nilfs object, the inode lock of the backing device file, and the locks that this inode lock is transitively dependent on. This is caused by a new lock dependency added by the above change, since init_nilfs() calls sb_set_blocksize() in the lock section of "ns_sem". However, these warnings are false positives because init_nilfs() is called in the early stage of the mount operation and the filesystem has not yet started. The reason why "ns_sem" is locked in init_nilfs() was to avoid a race condition in nilfs_fill_super() caused by sharing a nilfs object among multiple filesystem instances (super block structures) in the early implementation. However, nilfs objects and super block structures have long ago become one-to-one, and there is no longer any need to use the semaphore there. So, fix this issue by removing the use of the semaphore "ns_sem" in init_nilfs().

nilfs2: fix CFI failure when accessing /sys/fs/nilfs2/features/*

2025-09-25T09:00:07+00:00

commit 025e87f8ea2ae3a28bf1fe2b052bfa412c27ed4a upstream. When accessing one of the files under /sys/fs/nilfs2/features when CONFIG_CFI_CLANG is enabled, there is a CFI violation: CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x59/0x80 (target: nilfs_feature_revision_show+0x0/0x30; expected type: 0xfc392c4d) ... Call Trace: sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x2a6/0x390 ? __cfi_kobj_attr_show+0x10/0x10 kernfs_seq_show+0x104/0x15b seq_read_iter+0x580/0xe2b ... When the kobject of the kset for /sys/fs/nilfs2 is initialized, its ktype is set to kset_ktype, which has a ->sysfs_ops of kobj_sysfs_ops. When nilfs_feature_attr_group is added to that kobject via sysfs_create_group(), the kernfs_ops of each files is sysfs_file_kfops_rw, which will call sysfs_kf_seq_show() when ->seq_show() is called. sysfs_kf_seq_show() in turn calls kobj_attr_show() through ->sysfs_ops->show(). kobj_attr_show() casts the provided attribute out to a 'struct kobj_attribute' via container_of() and calls ->show(), resulting in the CFI violation since neither nilfs_feature_revision_show() nor nilfs_feature_README_show() match the prototype of ->show() in 'struct kobj_attribute'. Resolve the CFI violation by adjusting the second parameter in nilfs_feature_{revision,README}_show() from 'struct attribute' to 'struct kobj_attribute' to match the expected prototype.

nilfs2: reject invalid file types when reading inodes

commit 4aead50caf67e01020c8be1945c3201e8a972a27 upstream. To prevent inodes with invalid file types from tripping through the vfs and causing malfunctions or assertion failures, add a missing sanity check when reading an inode from a block device.

nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from nilfs_btree_propagate()

2025-06-19T13:28:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8e39fbb1edbb4ec9d7c1124f403877fc167fcecd ] In preparation for writing logs, in nilfs_btree_propagate(), which makes parent and ancestor node blocks dirty starting from a modified data block or b-tree node block, if the starting block does not belong to the b-tree, i.e. is isolated, nilfs_btree_do_lookup() called within the function fails with -ENOENT. In this case, even though -ENOENT is an internal code, it is propagated to the log writer via nilfs_bmap_propagate() and may be erroneously returned to system calls such as fsync(). Fix this issue by changing the error code to -EINVAL in this case, and having the bmap layer detect metadata corruption and convert the error code appropriately.

nilfs2: add pointer check for nilfs_direct_propagate()

2025-06-19T13:28:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit f43f02429295486059605997bc43803527d69791 ] Patch series "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation". This fixes one missed check for block mapping anomalies and one improper return of an error code during a preparation step for log writing, thereby improving checking for filesystem corruption on writeback. This patch (of 2): In nilfs_direct_propagate(), the printer get from nilfs_direct_get_ptr() need to be checked to ensure it is not an invalid pointer. If the pointer value obtained by nilfs_direct_get_ptr() is NILFS_BMAP_INVALID_PTR, means that the metadata (in this case, i_bmap in the nilfs_inode_info struct) that should point to the data block at the buffer head of the argument is corrupted and the data block is orphaned, meaning that the file system has lost consistency. Add a value check and return -EINVAL when it is an invalid pointer.

nilfs2: handle errors that nilfs_prepare_chunk() may return

2025-02-27T12:10:54+00:00

commit ee70999a988b8abc3490609142f50ebaa8344432 upstream. Patch series "nilfs2: fix issues with rename operations". This series fixes BUG_ON check failures reported by syzbot around rename operations, and a minor behavioral issue where the mtime of a child directory changes when it is renamed instead of moved. This patch (of 2): The directory manipulation routines nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry() rewrite the directory entry in the folio/page previously read by nilfs_find_entry(), so error handling is omitted on the assumption that nilfs_prepare_chunk(), which prepares the buffer for rewriting, will always succeed for these. And if an error is returned, it triggers the legacy BUG_ON() checks in each routine. This assumption is wrong, as proven by syzbot: the buffer layer called by nilfs_prepare_chunk() may call nilfs_get_block() if necessary, which may fail due to metadata corruption or other reasons. This has been there all along, but improved sanity checks and error handling may have made it more reproducible in fuzzing tests. Fix this issue by adding missing error paths in nilfs_set_link(), nilfs_delete_entry(), and their caller nilfs_rename().

nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename

2025-02-27T12:10:54+00:00

commit 8cf57c6df818f58fdad16a909506be213623a88e upstream. In nilfs_rename(), calls to nilfs_put_page() to release pages obtained with nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() are alternated in the normal path. When replacing the kernel memory mapping method from kmap to kmap_local_{page,folio}, this violates the constraint on the calling order of kunmap_local(). Swap the order of nilfs_put_page calls where the kmap sections of multiple pages overlap so that they are nested, allowing direct replacement of nilfs_put_page() -> unmap_and_put_page(). Without this reordering, that replacement will cause a kernel WARNING in kunmap_local_indexed() on architectures with high memory mapping.

nilfs2: move page release outside of nilfs_delete_entry and nilfs_set_link

2025-02-27T12:10:53+00:00

commit 584db20c181f5e28c0386d7987406ace7fbd3e49 upstream. Patch series "nilfs2: Folio conversions for directory paths". This series applies page->folio conversions to nilfs2 directory operations. This reduces hidden compound_head() calls and also converts deprecated kmap calls to kmap_local in the directory code. Although nilfs2 does not yet support large folios, Matthew has done his best here to include support for large folios, which will be needed for devices with large block sizes. This series corresponds to the second half of the original post [1], but with two complementary patches inserted at the beginning and some adjustments, to prevent a kmap_local constraint violation found during testing with highmem mapping. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231106173903.1734114-1-willy@infradead.org I have reviewed all changes and tested this for regular and small block sizes, both on machines with and without highmem mapping. No issues found. This patch (of 17): In a few directory operations, the call to nilfs_put_page() for a page obtained using nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() is hidden in nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry(), making it difficult to track page release and preventing change of its call position. By moving nilfs_put_page() out of these functions, this makes the page get/put correspondence clearer and makes it easier to swap nilfs_put_page() calls (and kunmap calls within them) when modifying multiple directory entries simultaneously in nilfs_rename(). Also, update comments for nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry() to reflect changes in their behavior. To make nilfs_put_page() visible from namei.c, this moves its definition to nilfs.h and replaces existing equivalents to use it, but the exposure of that definition is temporary and will be removed on a later kmap -> kmap_local conversion.

nilfs2: fix possible int overflows in nilfs_fiemap()

commit 6438ef381c183444f7f9d1de18f22661cba1e946 upstream. Since nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig() in nilfs_fiemap() calculates its result by being prepared to go through potentially maxblocks == INT_MAX blocks, the value in n may experience an overflow caused by left shift of blkbits. While it is extremely unlikely to occur, play it safe and cast right hand expression to wider type to mitigate the issue.
