romfs: check sb_set_blocksize() return value

2026-02-19T15:25:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit ab7ad7abb3660c58ffffdf07ff3bb976e7e0afa0 ] romfs_fill_super() ignores the return value of sb_set_blocksize(), which can fail if the requested block size is incompatible with the block device's configuration. This can be triggered by setting a loop device's block size larger than PAGE_SIZE using ioctl(LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE, 32768), then mounting a romfs filesystem on that device. When sb_set_blocksize(sb, ROMBSIZE) is called with ROMBSIZE=4096 but the device has logical_block_size=32768, bdev_validate_blocksize() fails because the requested size is smaller than the device's logical block size. sb_set_blocksize() returns 0 (failure), but romfs ignores this and continues mounting. The superblock's block size remains at the device's logical block size (32768). Later, when sb_bread() attempts I/O with this oversized block size, it triggers a kernel BUG in folio_set_bh(): kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c:1582! BUG_ON(size > PAGE_SIZE); Fix by checking the return value of sb_set_blocksize() and failing the mount with -EINVAL if it returns 0.

romfs: Convert romfs to read_folio

2022-05-09T20:21:46+00:00

This is a "weak" conversion which converts straight back to using pages. A full conversion should be performed at some point, hopefully by someone familiar with the filesystem. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

fs: allocate inode by using alloc_inode_sb()

2022-03-22T22:57:03+00:00

The inode allocation is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb(), so convert kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().

ROMFS: support inode blocks calculation

2020-10-16T18:11:22+00:00

When use 'stat' tool to display file status, the 'Blocks' field always in '0', this is not good for tool 'du'(e.g.: busybox 'du'), it always output '0' size for the files under ROMFS since such tool calculates number of 512B Blocks. This patch calculates approx. number of 512B blocks based on inode size.

romfs: fix uninitialized memory leak in romfs_dev_read()

2020-08-21T16:52:53+00:00

romfs has a superblock field that limits the size of the filesystem; data beyond that limit is never accessed. romfs_dev_read() fetches a caller-supplied number of bytes from the backing device. It returns 0 on success or an error code on failure; therefore, its API can't represent short reads, it's all-or-nothing. However, when romfs_dev_read() detects that the requested operation would cross the filesystem size limit, it currently silently truncates the requested number of bytes. This e.g. means that when the content of a file with size 0x1000 starts one byte before the filesystem size limit, ->readpage() will only fill a single byte of the supplied page while leaving the rest uninitialized, leaking that uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix it by returning an error code instead of truncating the read when the requested read operation would go beyond the end of the filesystem.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Pull misc mount API conversions from Al Viro: "Conversions to new API for shmem and friends and for mount_mtd()-using filesystems. As for the rest of the mount API conversions in -next, some of them belong in the individual trees (e.g. binderfs one should definitely go through android folks, after getting redone on top of their changes). I'm going to drop those and send the rest (trivial ones + stuff ACKed by maintainers) in a separate series - by that point they are independent from each other. Some stuff has already migrated into individual trees (NFS conversion, for example, or FUSE stuff, etc.); those presumably will go through the regular merges from corresponding trees." * 'work.mount2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: vfs: Make fs_parse() handle fs_param_is_fd-type params better vfs: Convert ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs, rootfs to use the new mount API shmem_parse_one(): switch to use of fs_parse() shmem_parse_options(): take handling a single option into a helper shmem_parse_options(): don't bother with mpol in separate variable shmem_parse_options(): use a separate structure to keep the results make shmem_fill_super() static make ramfs_fill_super() static devtmpfs: don't mix {ramfs,shmem}_fill_super() with mount_single() vfs: Convert squashfs to use the new mount API mtd: Kill mount_mtd() vfs: Convert jffs2 to use the new mount API vfs: Convert cramfs to use the new mount API vfs: Convert romfs to use the new mount API vfs: Add a single-or-reconfig keying to vfs_get_super()
