There's a issue as follows: Block Allocation Reservation Windows Map (ext2_try_to_allocate_with_rsv): reservation window 0x000000006f105382 start: 0, end: 0 reservation window 0x000000008fd1a555 start: 1044, end: 1059 Window map complete. kernel BUG at fs/ext2/balloc.c:1158! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN RIP: 0010:ext2_try_to_allocate_with_rsv.isra.0+0x15c4/0x1800 Call Trace: <TASK> ext2_new_blocks+0x935/0x1690 ext2_new_block+0x73/0xa0 ext2_xattr_set2+0x74f/0x1730 ext2_xattr_set+0x12b6/0x2260 ext2_xattr_user_set+0x9c/0x110 __vfs_setxattr+0x139/0x1d0 __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0xfc/0x370 __vfs_setxattr_locked+0x205/0x2c0 vfs_setxattr+0x19d/0x3b0 do_setxattr+0xff/0x220 setxattr+0x123/0x150 path_setxattr+0x193/0x1e0 __x64_sys_setxattr+0xc8/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Above issue may happens as follows: setxattr write back ext2_xattr_set ext2_xattr_set2 ext2_new_block ext2_new_blocks ext2_try_to_allocate_with_rsv alloc_new_reservation --> group=0 [0, 1023] rsv [1016, 1023] do_writepages mpage_writepages write_cache_pages __mpage_writepage ext2_get_block ext2_get_blocks ext2_alloc_branch ext2_new_blocks ext2_try_to_allocate_with_rsv alloc_new_reservation -->group=1 [1024, 2047] rsv [1044, 1059] if ((my_rsv->rsv_start > group_last_block) || (my_rsv->rsv_end < group_first_block) rsv_window_dump BUG(); Now ext2 mkwrite delay allocate new blocks. So there maybe allocate blocks when do write back. However, there is no concurrent protection between ext2_xattr_set() and do_writepages(). To solve about issue hold '&ei->truncate_mutex' lock when new block for xattr.
