xfs: close crash window in attr dabtree inactivation

2026-04-11T12:29:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit b854e1c4eff3473b6d3a9ae74129ac5c48bc0b61 ] When inactivating an inode with node-format extended attributes, xfs_attr3_node_inactive() invalidates all child leaf/node blocks via xfs_trans_binval(), but intentionally does not remove the corresponding entries from their parent node blocks. The implicit assumption is that xfs_attr_inactive() will truncate the entire attr fork to zero extents afterwards, so log recovery will never reach the root node and follow those stale pointers. However, if a log shutdown occurs after the leaf/node block cancellations commit but before the attr bmap truncation commits, this assumption breaks. Recovery replays the attr bmap intact (the inode still has attr fork extents), but suppresses replay of all cancelled leaf/node blocks, maybe leaving them as stale data on disk. On the next mount, xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() retries inactivation and attempts to read the root node via the attr bmap. If the root node was not replayed, reading the unreplayed root block triggers a metadata verification failure immediately; if it was replayed, following its child pointers to unreplayed child blocks triggers the same failure: XFS (pmem0): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_da3_node_read_verify+0x53/0x220, xfs_da3_node block 0x78 XFS (pmem0): Unmount and run xfs_repair XFS (pmem0): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ XFS (pmem0): metadata I/O error in "xfs_da_read_buf+0x104/0x190" at daddr 0x78 len 8 error 117 Fix this in two places: In xfs_attr3_node_inactive(), after calling xfs_trans_binval() on a child block, immediately remove the entry that references it from the parent node in the same transaction. This eliminates the window where the parent holds a pointer to a cancelled block. Once all children are removed, the now-empty root node is converted to a leaf block within the same transaction. This node-to-leaf conversion is necessary for crash safety. If the system shutdown after the empty node is written to the log but before the second-phase bmap truncation commits, log recovery will attempt to verify the root block on disk. xfs_da3_node_verify() does not permit a node block with count == 0; such a block will fail verification and trigger a metadata corruption shutdown. on the other hand, leaf blocks are allowed to have this transient state. In xfs_attr_inactive(), split the attr fork truncation into two explicit phases. First, truncate all extents beyond the root block (the child extents whose parent references have already been removed above). Second, invalidate the root block and truncate the attr bmap to zero in a single transaction. The two operations in the second phase must be atomic: as long as the attr bmap has any non-zero length, recovery can follow it to the root block, so the root block invalidation must commit together with the bmap-to-zero truncation.

xfs: only assert new size for datafork during truncate extents

commit e942498385bf80f4d6d075b47174035545eb6a2e upstream. The assertion functions properly because we currently only truncate the attr to a zero size. Any other new size of the attr is not preempted.

xfs: remove file_path tracepoint data

2026-04-02T11:25:50+00:00

commit e31c53a8060e134111ed095783fee0aa0c43b080 upstream. The xfile/xmbuf shmem file descriptions are no longer as detailed as they were when online fsck was first merged, because moving to static strings in commit 60382993a2e180 ("xfs: get rid of the xchk_xfile_*_descr calls") removed a memory allocation and hence a source of failure. However this makes encoding the description in the tracepoints sort of a waste of memory. David Laight also points out that file_path doesn't zero the whole buffer which causes exposure of stale trace bytes, and Steven Rostedt wonders why we're not using a dynamic array for the file path. I don't think this is worth fixing, so let's just rip it out.

xfs: fix ri_total validation in xlog_recover_attri_commit_pass2

2026-04-02T11:25:50+00:00

commit d72f2084e30966097c8eae762e31986a33c3c0ae upstream. The ri_total checks for SET/REPLACE operations are hardcoded to 3, but xfs_attri_item_size() only emits a value iovec when value_len > 0, so ri_total is 2 when value_len == 0. For PPTR_SET/PPTR_REMOVE/PPTR_REPLACE, value_len is validated by xfs_attri_validate() to be exactly sizeof(struct xfs_parent_rec) and is never zero, so their hardcoded checks remain correct. This problem may cause log recovery failures. The following script can be used to reproduce the problem: #!/bin/bash mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sda mount /dev/sda /mnt/test/ touch /mnt/test/file for i in {1..200}; do attr -s "user.attr_$i" -V "value_$i" /mnt/test/file > /dev/null done echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/sda/errortag/larp attr -s "user.zero" -V "" /mnt/test/file echo 0 > /sys/fs/xfs/sda/errortag/larp umount /mnt/test mount /dev/sda /mnt/test/ # mount failed Fix this by deriving the expected count dynamically as "2 + !!value_len" for SET/REPLACE operations.

xfs: scrub: unlock dquot before early return in quota scrub

commit 268378b6ad20569af0d1957992de1c8b16c6e900 upstream. xchk_quota_item can return early after calling xchk_fblock_process_error. When that helper returns false, the function returned immediately without dropping dq->q_qlock, which can leave the dquot lock held and risk lock leaks or deadlocks in later quota operations. Fix this by unlocking dq->q_qlock before the early return. Signed-off-by: hongao Fixes: 7d1f0e167a067e ("xfs: check the ondisk space mapping behind a dquot") Cc: # v6.8 Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

xfs: avoid dereferencing log items after push callbacks

2026-04-02T11:25:49+00:00

commit 79ef34ec0554ec04bdbafafbc9836423734e1bd6 upstream. After xfsaild_push_item() calls iop_push(), the log item may have been freed if the AIL lock was dropped during the push. Background inode reclaim or the dquot shrinker can free the log item while the AIL lock is not held, and the tracepoints in the switch statement dereference the log item after iop_push() returns. Fix this by capturing the log item type, flags, and LSN before calling xfsaild_push_item(), and introducing a new xfs_ail_push_class trace event class that takes these pre-captured values and the ailp pointer instead of the log item pointer.

xfs: save ailp before dropping the AIL lock in push callbacks

2026-04-02T11:25:49+00:00

commit 394d70b86fae9fe865e7e6d9540b7696f73aa9b6 upstream. In xfs_inode_item_push() and xfs_qm_dquot_logitem_push(), the AIL lock is dropped to perform buffer IO. Once the cluster buffer no longer protects the log item from reclaim, the log item may be freed by background reclaim or the dquot shrinker. The subsequent spin_lock() call dereferences lip->li_ailp, which is a use-after-free. Fix this by saving the ailp pointer in a local variable while the AIL lock is held and the log item is guaranteed to be valid.
