2026-03-04ext4: propagate flags to convert_initialized_extent()Ojaswin Mujoo1-3/+4
[ Upstream commit 3fffa44b6ebf65be92a562a5063303979385a1c9 ] Currently, ext4_zero_range passes EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag to avoid caching extents however this is not respected by convert_initialized_extent(). Hence, modify it to accept flags from the caller and to pass the flags on to other extent manipulation functions it calls. This makes sure the NOCACHE flag is respected throughout the code path. Also, we no longer explicitly pass CONVERT_UNWRITTEN as the caller takes care of this.

2026-03-04ext4: use reserved metadata blocks when splitting extent on endioZhang Yi1-1/+3
[ Upstream commit 01942af95ab6c9d98e64ae01fdc243a03e4b973f ] When performing buffered writes, we may need to split and convert an unwritten extent into a written one during the end I/O process. However, we do not reserve space specifically for these metadata changes, we only reserve 2% of space or 4096 blocks. To address this, we use EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO to potentially split extents in advance and EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_METADATA_NOFAIL to utilize reserved space if necessary. These two approaches can reduce the likelihood of running out of space and losing data. However, these methods are merely best efforts, we could still run out of space, and there is not much difference between converting an extent during the writeback process and the end I/O process, it won't increase the risk of losing data if we postpone the conversion. Therefore, also use EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_METADATA_NOFAIL in ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() to prepare for the buffered I/O iomap conversion, which may perform extent conversion during the end I/O process.

2026-03-04ext4: mark group extend fast-commit ineligibleLi Chen1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit 1f8dd813a1c771b13c303f73d876164bc9b327cc ] Fast commits only log operations that have dedicated replay support. EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND grows the filesystem to the end of the last block group and updates the same on-disk metadata without going through the fast commit tracking paths. In practice these operations are rare and usually followed by further updates, but mixing them into a fast commit makes the overall semantics harder to reason about and risks replay gaps if new call sites appear. Teach ext4 to mark the filesystem fast-commit ineligible when EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND grows the filesystem. This forces those transactions to fall back to a full commit, ensuring that the group extension changes are captured by the normal journal rather than partially encoded in fast commit TLVs. This change should not affect common workloads but makes online resize via GROUP_EXTEND safer and easier to reason about under fast commit. Testing: 1. prepare: dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/fc_resize.img bs=1M count=0 seek=256 mkfs.ext4 -O fast_commit -F /root/fc_resize.img mkdir -p /mnt/fc_resize && mount -t ext4 -o loop /root/fc_resize.img /mnt/fc_resize 2.

2026-03-04ext4: use optimized mballoc scanning regardless of inode formatJan Kara1-2/+0
commit 3574c322b1d0eb32dbd76b469cb08f9a67641599 upstream. Currently we don't used mballoc optimized scanning (using max free extent order and avg free extent order group lists) for inodes with indirect block based format. This is confusing for users and I don't see a good reason for that. Even with indirect block based inode format we can spend big amount of time searching for free blocks for large filesystems with fragmented free space. To add to the confusion before commit 077d0c2c78df ("ext4: make mb_optimize_scan performance mount option work with extents") optimized scanning was applied *only* to indirect block based inodes so that commit appears as a performance regression to some users. Just use optimized scanning whenever it is enabled by mount options.

2026-03-04ext4: fix dirtyclusters double decrement on fs shutdownBrian Foster2-17/+6
commit 94a8cea54cd935c54fa2fba70354757c0fc245e3 upstream. fstests test generic/388 occasionally reproduces a warning in ext4_put_super() associated with the dirty clusters count: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 76064 at fs/ext4/super.c:1324 ext4_put_super+0x48c/0x590 [ext4] Tracing the failure shows that the warning fires due to an s_dirtyclusters_counter value of -1. IOW, this appears to be a spurious decrement as opposed to some sort of leak. Further tracing of the dirty cluster count deltas and an LLM scan of the resulting output identified the cause as a double decrement in the error path between ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() and the caller ext4_mb_new_blocks(). First, note that generic/388 is a shutdown vs. fsstress test and so produces a random set of operations and shutdown injections. In the problematic case, the shutdown triggers an error return from the ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() call(s) made from ext4_mb_mark_context(). The changed value is non-zero at this point, so ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() does not exit after the error bubbles up from ext4_mb_mark_context(). Instead, the former decrements both cluster counters and returns the error up to ext4_mb_new_blocks(). The latter falls into the !ar->len out path which decrements the dirty clusters counter a second time, creating the inconsistency. To avoid this problem and simplify ownership of the cluster reservation in this codepath, lift the counter reduction to a single place in the caller. This makes it more clear that ext4_mb_new_blocks() is responsible for acquiring cluster reservation (via ext4_claim_free_clusters()) in the !delalloc case as well as releasing it, regardless of whether it ends up consumed or returned due to failure.

2026-03-04ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reportsYongjian Sun1-10/+11
commit bdc56a9c46b2a99c12313122b9352b619a2e719e upstream. A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check failures like: ext4_mb_complex_scan_group:2508: group 350, 8179 free clusters as per group info. But got 8192 blocks Analysis and experimentation confirmed that the issue is caused by a race condition between page migration and bitmap modification. Although this timing window is extremely narrow, it is still hit in practice: folio_lock ext4_mb_load_buddy __migrate_folio check ref count folio_mc_copy __filemap_get_folio folio_try_get(folio) ...... mb_mark_used ext4_mb_unload_buddy __folio_migrate_mapping folio_ref_freeze folio_unlock The root cause of this issue is that the fast path of load_buddy only increments the folio's reference count, which is insufficient to prevent concurrent folio migration. We observed that the folio migration process acquires the folio lock. Therefore, we can determine whether to take the fast path in load_buddy by checking the lock status. If the folio is locked, we opt for the slow path (which acquires the lock) to close this concurrency window. Additionally, this change addresses the following issues: When the DOUBLE_CHECK macro is enabled to inspect bitmap-related issues, the following error may be triggered: corruption in group 324 at byte 784(6272): f in copy != ff on disk/prealloc Analysis reveals that this is a false positive. There is a specific race window where the bitmap and the group descriptor become momentarily inconsistent, leading to this error report: ext4_mb_load_buddy ext4_mb_load_buddy __filemap_get_folio(create|lock) folio_lock ext4_mb_init_cache folio_mark_uptodate __filemap_get_folio(no lock) ...... mb_mark_used mb_mark_used_double mb_cmp_bitmaps mb_set_bits(e4b->bd_bitmap) folio_unlock The original logic assumed that since mb_cmp_bitmaps is called when the bitmap is newly loaded from disk, the folio lock would be sufficient to prevent concurrent access. However, this overlooks a specific race condition: if another process attempts to load buddy and finds the folio is already in an uptodate state, it will immediately begin using it without holding folio lock.

2026-03-04ext4: don't cache extent during splitting extentZhang Yi1-0/+6
commit 8b4b19a2f96348d70bfa306ef7d4a13b0bcbea79 upstream. Caching extents during the splitting process is risky, as it may result in stale extents remaining in the status tree. Moreover, in most cases, the corresponding extent block entries are likely already cached before the split happens, making caching here not particularly useful. Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the first half. [UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent [UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] extent status tree |<- ->| ----> dio write this range First, when ext4_split_extent_at() splits this extent, it truncates the existing extent and then inserts a new one. During this process, this extent status entry may be shrunk, and calls to ext4_find_extent() and ext4_cache_extents() may occur, which could potentially insert the truncated range as a hole into the extent status tree. After the split is completed, this hole is not replaced with the correct status. [UUUUUUU|UUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent [UUUUUUU|HHHHHHHH] extent status tree H: hole Then, the outer calling functions will not correct this remaining hole extent either. Finally, if we perform a delayed buffer write on this latter part, it will re-insert the delayed extent and cause an error in space accounting. In adition, if the unwritten extent cache is not shrunk during the splitting, ext4_cache_extents() also conflicts with existing extents when caching extents. In the future, we will add checks when caching extents, which will trigger a warning. Therefore, Do not cache extents that are being split.

2026-03-04ext4: subdivide EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1Zhang Yi1-6/+12
commit 22784ca541c0f01c5ebad14e8228298dc0a390ed upstream. When splitting an extent, if the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT flag is set and it is necessary to split the target extent in the middle, ext4_split_extent() first handles splitting the latter half of the extent and passes the EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 flag. This flag implies that all blocks before the split point contain valid data; however, this assumption is incorrect. Therefore, subdivid EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 into EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 and EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, which indicate that the first half of the extent is either entirely valid or only partially valid, respectively. These two flags cannot be set simultaneously. This patch does not use EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, it only replaces EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 with EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 at the location where it is set, no logical changes.

However, in e2fsprogs, the orphan file size is set to 32–512 filesystem blocks when creating a filesystem. With 64k block size, formatting an ext4 fs >32G gives an orphan file bigger than the kernel allows, so mount prints an error and fails: EXT4-fs (vdb): orphan file too big: 8650752 EXT4-fs (vdb): mount failed To prevent this issue and allow previously created 64KB filesystems to mount, we updates the maximum allowed orphan file size in the kernel to 512 filesystem blocks.

2026-01-08ext4: fix incorrect group number assertion in mb_check_buddyYongjian Sun1-0/+2
commit 3f7a79d05c692c7cfec70bf104b1b3c3d0ce6247 upstream. When the MB_CHECK_ASSERT macro is enabled, an assertion failure can occur in __mb_check_buddy when checking preallocated blocks (pa) in a block group: Assertion failure in mb_free_blocks() : "groupnr == e4b->bd_group" This happens when a pa at the very end of a block group (e.g., pa_pstart=32765, pa_len=3 in a group of 32768 blocks) becomes exhausted - its pa_pstart is advanced by pa_len to 32768, which lies in the next block group. If this exhausted pa (with pa_len == 0) is still in the bb_prealloc_list during the buddy check, the assertion incorrectly flags it as belonging to the wrong group. A possible sequence is as follows: ext4_mb_new_blocks ext4_mb_release_context pa->pa_pstart += EXT4_C2B(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len) pa->pa_len -= ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len __mb_check_buddy for each pa in group ext4_get_group_no_and_offset MB_CHECK_ASSERT(groupnr == e4b->bd_group) To fix this, we modify the check to skip block group validation for exhausted preallocations (where pa_len == 0). Such entries are in a transitional state and will be removed from the list soon, so they should not trigger an assertion. This change prevents the false positive while maintaining the integrity of the checks for active allocations.

2025-12-18ext4: improve integrity checking in __mb_check_buddy by enhancing order-0 ↵Yongjian Sun1-17/+32
validation [ Upstream commit d9ee3ff810f1cc0e253c9f2b17b668b973cb0e06 ] When the MB_CHECK_ASSERT macro is enabled, we found that the current validation logic in __mb_check_buddy has a gap in detecting certain invalid buddy states, particularly related to order-0 (bitmap) bits. The original logic consists of three steps: 1. Validates higher-order buddies: if a higher-order bit is set, at most one of the two corresponding lower-order bits may be free; if a higher-order bit is clear, both lower-order bits must be allocated (and their bitmap bits must be 0). 2. For any set bit in order-0, ensures all corresponding higher-order bits are not free. 3. Verifies that all preallocated blocks (pa) in the group have pa_pstart within bounds and their bitmap bits marked as allocated. However, this approach fails to properly validate cases where order-0 bits are incorrectly cleared (0), allowing some invalid configurations to pass: corrupt integral order 3 1 1 order 2 1 1 1 1 order 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 order 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Here we get two adjacent free blocks at order-0 with inconsistent higher-order state, and the right one shows the correct scenario. The root cause is insufficient validation of order-0 zero bits. To fix this and improve completeness without significant performance cost, we refine the logic: 1. Maintain the top-down higher-order validation, but we no longer check the cases where the higher-order bit is 0, as this case will be covered in step 2. 2. Enhance order-0 checking by examining pairs of bits: - If either bit in a pair is set (1), all corresponding higher-order bits must not be free. - If both bits are clear (0), then exactly one of the corresponding higher-order bits must be free 3. Keep the preallocation (pa) validation unchanged. This change closes the validation gap, ensuring illegal buddy states involving order-0 are correctly detected, while removing redundant checks and maintaining efficiency.

2025-12-12ext4: refresh inline data size before write operationsDeepanshu Kartikey1-1/+6
commit 892e1cf17555735e9d021ab036c36bc7b58b0e3b upstream. The cached ei->i_inline_size can become stale between the initial size check and when ext4_update_inline_data()/ext4_create_inline_data() use it. Although ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads the correct value at the time of the check, concurrent xattr operations can modify i_inline_size before ext4_write_lock_xattr() is acquired. This causes ext4_update_inline_data() and ext4_create_inline_data() to work with stale capacity values, leading to a BUG_ON() crash in ext4_write_inline_data(): kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:1331! BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size); The race window: 1. ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads i_inline_size = 60 (correct) 2. Size check passes for 50-byte write 3. [Another thread adds xattr, i_inline_size changes to 40] 4. ext4_write_lock_xattr() acquires lock 5. ext4_update_inline_data() uses stale i_inline_size = 60 6. Attempts to write 50 bytes but only 40 bytes actually available 7. BUG_ON() triggers Fix this by recalculating i_inline_size via ext4_find_inline_data_nolock() immediately after acquiring xattr_sem. This ensures ext4_update_inline_data() and ext4_create_inline_data() work with current values that are protected from concurrent modifications. This is similar to commit a54c4613dac1 ("ext4: fix race writing to an inline_data file while its xattrs are changing") which fixed i_inline_off staleness. This patch addresses the related i_inline_size staleness issue.

commit 1d3ad183943b38eec2acf72a0ae98e635dc8456b upstream. syzbot reported a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() when opening a verity file on a corrupted ext4 filesystem mounted without a journal. The issue is that the filesystem has an inode with both the INLINE_DATA and EXTENTS flags set: EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_cache_extents:545: inode #15: comm syz.0.17: corrupted extent tree: lblk 0 < prev 66 Investigation revealed that the inode has both flags set: DEBUG: inode 15 - flag=1, i_inline_off=164, has_inline=1, extents_flag=1 This is an invalid combination since an inode should have either: - INLINE_DATA: data stored directly in the inode - EXTENTS: data stored in extent-mapped blocks Having both flags causes ext4_has_inline_data() to return true, skipping extent tree validation in __ext4_iget(). The unvalidated out-of-order extents then trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() due to integer underflow when calculating hole sizes. Fix this by detecting this invalid flag combination early in ext4_iget() and rejecting the corrupted inode.

commit 328a782cb138029182e521c08f50eb1587db955d upstream. When freeing metadata blocks in nojournal mode, ext4_forget() calls bforget() to clear the dirty flag on the buffer_head and remvoe associated mappings. This is acceptable if the metadata has not yet begun to be written back. However, if the write-back has already started but is not yet completed, ext4_forget() will have no effect. Subsequently, ext4_mb_clear_bb() will immediately return the block to the mb allocator. This block can then be reallocated immediately, potentially causing an data corruption issue. Fix this by clearing the buffer's dirty flag and waiting for the ongoing I/O to complete, ensuring that no further writes to stale data will occur.

2025-10-19ext4: validate ea_ino and size in check_xattrsDeepanshu Kartikey1-0/+4
commit 44d2a72f4d64655f906ba47a5e108733f59e6f28 upstream. During xattr block validation, check_xattrs() processes xattr entries without validating that entries claiming to use EA inodes have non-zero sizes. Corrupted filesystems may contain xattr entries where e_value_size is zero but e_value_inum is non-zero, indicating invalid xattr data. Add validation in check_xattrs() to detect this corruption pattern early and return -EFSCORRUPTED, preventing invalid xattr entries from causing issues throughout the ext4 codebase.

2025-10-19ext4: guard against EA inode refcount underflow in xattr updateAhmet Eray Karadag1-7/+8
commit 57295e835408d8d425bef58da5253465db3d6888 upstream. syzkaller found a path where ext4_xattr_inode_update_ref() reads an EA inode refcount that is already <= 0 and then applies ref_change (often -1). That lets the refcount underflow and we proceed with a bogus value, triggering errors like: EXT4-fs error: EA inode <n> ref underflow: ref_count=-1 ref_change=-1 EXT4-fs warning: ea_inode dec ref err=-117 Make the invariant explicit: if the current refcount is non-positive, treat this as on-disk corruption, emit ext4_error_inode(), and fail the operation with -EFSCORRUPTED instead of updating the refcount. Delete the WARN_ONCE() as negative refcounts are now impossible; keep error reporting in ext4_error_inode(). This prevents the underflow and the follow-on orphan/cleanup churn.

2025-10-19ext4: correctly handle queries for metadata mappingsOjaswin Mujoo1-5/+9
commit 46c22a8bb4cb03211da1100d7ee4a2005bf77c70 upstream. Currently, our handling of metadata is _ambiguous_ in some scenarios, that is, we end up returning unknown if the range only covers the mapping partially. For example, in the following case: $ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 0: 254:16 [0..7]: static fs metadata 8 1: 254:16 [8..15]: special 102:1 8 2: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112 3: 254:16 [5128..5255]: special 102:3 128 4: 254:16 [5256..5383]: special 102:4 128 5: 254:16 [5384..70919]: inodes 65536 6: 254:16 [70920..70967]: unknown 48 ... $ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33 0: 254:16 [24..39]: unknown 16 <--- incomplete reporting $ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33 (With patch) 0: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112 This is because earlier in ext4_getfsmap_meta_helper, we end up ignoring any extent that starts before our queried range, but overlaps it. While the man page [1] is a bit ambiguous on this, this fix makes the output make more sense since we are anyways returning an "unknown" extent. This is also consistent to how XFS does it: $ xfs_io -c fsmap -d ... 6: 254:16 [104..127]: free space 24 7: 254:16 [128..191]: inodes 64 ... $ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 137 150 0: 254:16 [128..191]: inodes 64 <-- full extent returned [1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl_getfsmap.2.html Reported-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> Message-ID: <023f37e35ee280cd9baac0296cbadcbe10995cab.1757058211.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2025-10-19ext4: increase i_disksize to offset + len in ext4_update_disksize_before_punch()Yongjian Sun1-2/+8
commit 9d80eaa1a1d37539224982b76c9ceeee736510b9 upstream. After running a stress test combined with fault injection, we performed fsck -a followed by fsck -fn on the filesystem image. During the second pass, fsck -fn reported: Inode 131512, end of extent exceeds allowed value (logical block 405, physical block 1180540, len 2) This inode was not in the orphan list. Analysis revealed the following call chain that leads to the inconsistency: ext4_da_write_end() //does not update i_disksize ext4_punch_hole() //truncate folio, keep size ext4_page_mkwrite() ext4_block_page_mkwrite() ext4_block_write_begin() ext4_get_block() //insert written extent without update i_disksize journal commit echo 1 > /sys/block/xxx/device/delete da-write path updates i_size but does not update i_disksize. Then ext4_punch_hole truncates the da-folio yet still leaves i_disksize unchanged(in the ext4_update_disksize_before_punch function, the condition offset + len < size is met). Then ext4_page_mkwrite sees ext4_nonda_switch return 1 and takes the nodioread_nolock path, the folio about to be written has just been punched out, and it’s offset sits beyond the current i_disksize. This may result in a written extent being inserted, but again does not update i_disksize. If the journal gets committed and then the block device is yanked, we might run into this. It should be noted that replacing ext4_punch_hole with ext4_zero_range in the call sequence may also trigger this issue, as neither will update i_disksize under these circumstances. To fix this, we can modify ext4_update_disksize_before_punch to increase i_disksize to min(i_size, offset + len) when both i_size and (offset + len) are greater than i_disksize.

commit 0a6ce20c156442a4ce2a404747bb0fb05d54eeb3 upstream. In principle orphan file can be arbitrarily large. However orphan replay needs to traverse it all and we also pin all its buffers in memory. Thus filesystems with absurdly large orphan files can lead to big amounts of memory consumed. Limit orphan file size to a sane value and also use kvmalloc() for allocating array of block descriptor structures to avoid large order allocations for sane but large orphan files.

2025-10-19ext4: add ext4_sb_bread_nofail() helper function for ext4_free_branches()Baokun Li3-1/+12
commit d8b90e6387a74bcb1714c8d1e6a782ff709de9a9 upstream. The implicit __GFP_NOFAIL flag in ext4_sb_bread() was removed in commit 8a83ac54940d ("ext4: call bdev_getblk() from sb_getblk_gfp()"), meaning the function can now fail under memory pressure. Most callers of ext4_sb_bread() propagate the error to userspace and do not remount the filesystem read-only. However, ext4_free_branches() handles ext4_sb_bread() failure by remounting the filesystem read-only. This implies that an ext3 filesystem (mounted via the ext4 driver) could be forcibly remounted read-only due to a transient page allocation failure, which is unacceptable. To mitigate this, introduce a new helper function, ext4_sb_bread_nofail(), which explicitly uses __GFP_NOFAIL, and use it in ext4_free_branches().

2025-10-15ext4: fix checks for orphan inodesJan Kara5-9/+15
commit acf943e9768ec9d9be80982ca0ebc4bfd6b7631e upstream. When orphan file feature is enabled, inode can be tracked as orphan either in the standard orphan list or in the orphan file. The first can be tested by checking ei->i_orphan list head, the second is recorded by EXT4_STATE_ORPHAN_FILE inode state flag. There are several places where we want to check whether inode is tracked as orphan and only some of them properly check for both possibilities. Luckily the consequences are mostly minor, the worst that can happen is that we track an inode as orphan although we don't need to and e2fsck then complains (resulting in occasional ext4/307 xfstest failures). Fix the problem by introducing a helper for checking whether an inode is tracked as orphan and use it in appropriate places.

[ Upstream commit 9e28059d56649a7212d5b3f8751ec021154ba3dd ] This patch addresses an issue where some files in case-insensitive directories become inaccessible due to changes in how the kernel function, utf8_casefold(), generates case-folded strings from the commit 5c26d2f1d3f5 ("unicode: Don't special case ignorable code points"). There are good reasons why this change should be made; it's actually quite stupid that Unicode seems to think that the characters ❤ and ❤️ should be casefolded. Unfortimately because of the backwards compatibility issue, this commit was reverted in 231825b2e1ff. This problem is addressed by instituting a brute-force linear fallback if a lookup fails on case-folded directory, which does result in a performance hit when looking up files affected by the changing how thekernel treats ignorable Uniode characters, or when attempting to look up non-existent file names. So this fallback can be disabled by setting an encoding flag if in the future, the system administrator or the manufacturer of a mobile handset or tablet can be sure that there was no opportunity for a kernel to insert file names with incompatible encodings.

2025-09-09ext4: avoid journaling sb update on error if journal is destroyingOjaswin Mujoo3-9/+25
commit ce2f26e73783b4a7c46a86e3af5b5c8de0971790 upstream. Presently we always BUG_ON if trying to start a transaction on a journal marked with JBD2_UNMOUNT, since this should never happen. However, while ltp running stress tests, it was observed that in case of some error handling paths, it is possible for update_super_work to start a transaction after the journal is destroyed eg: (umount) ext4_kill_sb kill_block_super generic_shutdown_super sync_filesystem /* commits all txns */ evict_inodes /* might start a new txn */ ext4_put_super flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) /* flush the workqueue */ jbd2_journal_destroy journal_kill_thread journal->j_flags |= JBD2_UNMOUNT; jbd2_journal_commit_transaction jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer jbd2_journal_bmap ext4_journal_bmap ext4_map_blocks ... ext4_inode_error ext4_handle_error schedule_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) /* work queue kicks in */ update_super_work jbd2_journal_start start_this_handle BUG_ON(journal->j_flags & JBD2_UNMOUNT) Hence, introduce a new mount flag to indicate journal is destroying and only do a journaled (and deferred) update of sb if this flag is not set. Otherwise, just fallback to an un-journaled commit. Further, in the journal destroy path, we have the following sequence: 1. Set mount flag indicating journal is destroying 2. force a commit and wait for it 3. flush pending sb updates This sequence is important as it ensures that, after this point, there is no sb update that might be journaled so it is safe to update the sb outside the journal. (To avoid race discussed in 2d01ddc86606) Also, we don't need a similar check in ext4_grp_locked_error since it is only called from mballoc and AFAICT it would be always valid to schedule work here.

Then it could return a zero length hole and trigger the following waring and infinite in the iomap infrastructure. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 434101 at fs/iomap/iter.c:34 iomap_iter_done+0x148/0x190 CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 434101 Comm: fsstress Not tainted 6.16.0-rc7+ #128 PREEMPT(voluntary) Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS unknown 2/2/2022 pstate: 60400005 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : iomap_iter_done+0x148/0x190 lr : iomap_iter+0x174/0x230 sp : ffff8000880af740 x29: ffff8000880af740 x28: ffff0000db8e6840 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffff8000880af830 x24: 0000004000000000 x23: 0000000000000002 x22: 000001bfdbfa8000 x21: ffffa6a41c002e48 x20: 0000000000000001 x19: ffff8000880af808 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: ffffa6a495ee6cd0 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00000000000003d4 x13: 00000000fa83b2da x12: 0000b236fc95f18c x11: ffffa6a4978b9c08 x10: 0000000000001da0 x9 : ffffa6a41c1a2a44 x8 : ffff8000880af5c8 x7 : 0000000001000000 x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000004 x4 : 000001bfdbfa8000 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000004004030000 x0 : 0000000000000000 Call trace: iomap_iter_done+0x148/0x190 (P) iomap_iter+0x174/0x230 iomap_fiemap+0x154/0x1d8 ext4_fiemap+0x110/0x140 [ext4] do_vfs_ioctl+0x4b8/0xbc0 __arm64_sys_ioctl+0x8c/0x120 invoke_syscall+0x6c/0x100 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xf0 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x38/0x120 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x10c/0x138 el0t_64_sync+0x198/0x1a0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Cc: stable@kernel.org Fixes: facab4d9711e ("ext4: return hole from ext4_map_blocks()") Reported-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/9b650a52-9672-4604-a765-bb6be55d1e4a@gmx.com/ Tested-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250811064532.1788289-1-yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2025-08-28ext4: don't try to clear the orphan_present feature block device is r/oTheodore Ts'o1-0/+2
commit c5e104a91e7b6fa12c1dc2d8bf84abb7ef9b89ad upstream. When the file system is frozen in preparation for taking an LVM snapshot, the journal is checkpointed and if the orphan_file feature is enabled, and the orphan file is empty, we clear the orphan_present feature flag. But if there are pending inodes that need to be removed the orphan_present feature flag can't be cleared. The problem comes if the block device is read-only. In that case, we can't process the orphan inode list, so it is skipped in ext4_orphan_cleanup(). But then in ext4_mark_recovery_complete(), this results in the ext4 error "Orphan file not empty on read-only fs" firing and the file system mount is aborted. Fix this by clearing the needs_recovery flag in the block device is read-only. We do this after the call to ext4_load_and_init-journal() since there are some error checks need to be done in case the journal needs to be replayed and the block device is read-only, or if the block device containing the externa journal is read-only, etc. Cc: stable@kernel.org Link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1108271 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 02f310fcf47f ("ext4: Speedup ext4 orphan inode handling") Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 3ffbdd1f1165f1b2d6a94d1b1aabef57120deaf7 upstream. In some cases like small FSes with no meta_bg and where the resize doesn't need extra gdt blocks as it can fit in the current one, s_reserved_gdt_blocks is set as 0, which causes fsmap to emit a 0 length entry, which is incorrect. $ mkfs.ext4 -b 65536 -O bigalloc /dev/sda 5G $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/scratch $ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d" /mnt/scartch 0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128 1: 253:48 [128..255]: special 102:1 128 2: 253:48 [256..255]: special 102:2 0 <---- 0 len entry 3: 253:48 [256..383]: special 102:3 128 Fix this by adding a check for this case.

2025-08-28ext4: fix fsmap end of range reporting with bigallocOjaswin Mujoo1-3/+12
commit bae76c035bf0852844151e68098c9b7cd63ef238 upstream. With bigalloc enabled, the logic to report last extent has a bug since we try to use cluster units instead of block units. This can cause an issue where extra incorrect entries might be returned back to the user. This was flagged by generic/365 with 64k bs and -O bigalloc. ** Details of issue ** The issue was noticed on 5G 64k blocksize FS with -O bigalloc which has only 1 bg. $ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d" /mnt/scratch 0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128 /* sb */ 1: 253:48 [128..255]: special 102:1 128 /* gdt */ 3: 253:48 [256..383]: special 102:3 128 /* block bitmap */ 4: 253:48 [384..2303]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */ 5: 253:48 [2304..2431]: special 102:4 128 /* inode bitmap */ 6: 253:48 [2432..4351]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */ 7: 253:48 [4352..6911]: inodes 2560 8: 253:48 [6912..538623]: unknown 531712 9: 253:48 [538624..10485759]: free space 9947136 The issue can be seen with: $ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d 0 3" /mnt/scratch 0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128 1: 253:48 [384..2047]: unknown 1664 Only the first entry was expected to be returned but we get 2. This is because: ext4_getfsmap_datadev() first_cluster, last_cluster = 0 ... info->gfi_last = true; ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper(sb, end_ag, last_cluster + 1, 0, info); fsb = C2B(1) = 16 fslen = 0 ... /* Merge in any relevant extents from the meta_list */ list_for_each_entry_safe(p, tmp, &info->gfi_meta_list, fmr_list) { ... // since fsb = 16, considers all metadata which starts before 16 blockno iter 1: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = sb (0,1), nop info->gfi_next_fsblk = 1 iter 2: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = gdt (1,2), nop info->gfi_next_fsblk = 2 iter 3: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = blk bitmap (2,3), nop info->gfi_next_fsblk = 3 iter 4: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = ino bitmap (18,19) if (rec_blk > info->gfi_next_fsblk) { // (18 > 3) // emits an extra entry ** BUG ** } } Fix this by directly calling ext4_getfsmap_datadev() with a dummy record that has fmr_physical set to (end_fsb + 1) instead of last_cluster + 1. By using the block instead of cluster we get the correct behavior. Replacing ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() with ext4_getfsmap_helper() is okay since the gfi_lastfree and metadata checks in ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() are anyways redundant when we only want to emit the last allocated block of the range, as we have already taken care of emitting metadata and any last free blocks.

2025-08-28ext4: check fast symlink for ea_inode correctlyAndreas Dilger1-1/+1
commit b4cc4a4077268522e3d0d34de4b2dc144e2330fa upstream. The check for a fast symlink in the presence of only an external xattr inode is incorrect. If a fast symlink does not have an xattr block (i_file_acl == 0), but does have an external xattr inode that increases inode i_blocks, then the check for a fast symlink will incorrectly fail and __ext4_iget()->ext4_ind_check_inode() will report the inode is corrupt when it "validates" i_data[] on the next read: # ln -s foo /mnt/tmp/bar # setfattr -h -n trusted.test \ -v "$(yes | head -n 4000)" /mnt/tmp/bar # umount /mnt/tmp # mount /mnt/tmp # ls -l /mnt/tmp ls: cannot access '/mnt/tmp/bar': Structure needs cleaning total 4 ? l?????????? ? ? ? ? ? bar # dmesg | tail -1 EXT4-fs error (device dm-8): __ext4_iget:5098: inode #24578: block 7303014: comm ls: invalid block (note that "block 7303014" = 0x6f6f66 = "foo" in LE order). ext4_inode_is_fast_symlink() should check the superblock EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE feature flag, not the inode EXT4_EA_INODE_FL, since the latter is only set on the xattr inode itself, and not on the inode that uses this xattr.
