ntfs: fix empty_buf and ra lifetime bugs in ntfs_empty_logfile()

2026-05-10T07:45:28+00:00

ntfs_empty_logfile() has three related allocator bugs around the @empty_buf and @ra buffers it uses inside the per-cluster loop. When the loop encounters a runlist entry with LCN_RL_NOT_MAPPED, the function kvfrees @empty_buf and goes to map_vcn to remap. @empty_buf is not cleared. If ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() fails on re-entry, control jumps to the err label which kvfrees @empty_buf a second time. In the same branch, @ra is left allocated. When the remap succeeds the function falls through the @empty_buf re-allocation and the @ra re-allocation, overwriting the previous @ra pointer and leaking it. The success path frees @empty_buf with kfree() instead of kvfree(). kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc(), in which case kfree() does not correctly release the memory. A KASAN-enabled QEMU harness mirroring this control flow reports "BUG: KASAN: double-free" when the second ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() fails. Clear both @empty_buf and @ra after the in-loop releases so the err path is a no-op when the buffers have already been freed and so the remap-success path does not leak the previous @ra. Switch the success path to kvfree() to match the @empty_buf allocator. Fixes: 5218cd102aec ("ntfs: update misc operations") Signed-off-by: DaeMyung Kang Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon

Revert "fs: Remove NTFS classic"

2026-02-19T12:48:05+00:00

This reverts commit 7ffa8f3d30236e0ab897c30bdb01224ff1fe1c89. Reverts the removal of the classic read-only ntfs driver to serve as the base for a new read-write ntfs implementation. If we stack changes on top of the revert patch, It will significantly reduce the diff size, making the review easier. This revert intentionally excludes the restoration of Kconfig and Makefile. The Kconfig and Makefile will be added back in the final patch of this series, enabling the driver only after all features and improvements have been applied.

fs: Remove NTFS classic

2024-01-24T09:47:00+00:00

The replacement, NTFS3, was merged over two years ago. It is now time to remove the original from the tree as it is the last user of several APIs, and it is not worth changing.

fs/buffer: Combine two submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() arguments

2022-07-14T18:14:32+00:00

Both submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() accept a request operation type and request flags as their first two arguments. Micro-optimize these two functions by combining these first two arguments into a single argument. This patch does not change the behavior of any of the modified code.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
