Similar to issue fixed in commit cbc02854331ed ("XArray: Do not return sibling entries from xa_load()"), we may return sibling entries from xas_find_marked as following: Thread A: Thread B: xa_store_range(xa, entry, 6, 7, gfp); xa_set_mark(xa, 6, mark) XA_STATE(xas, xa, 6); xas_find_marked(&xas, 7, mark); offset = xas_find_chunk(xas, advance, mark); [offset is 6 which points to a valid entry] xa_store_range(xa, entry, 4, 7, gfp); entry = xa_entry(xa, node, 6); [entry is a sibling of 4] if (!xa_is_node(entry)) return entry; Skip sibling entry like xas_find() does to protect caller from seeing sibling entry from xas_find_marked() or caller may use sibling entry as a valid entry and crash the kernel. Besides, load_race() test is modified to catch mentioned issue and modified load_race() only passes after this fix is merged. Here is an example how this bug could be triggerred in theory in nfs which enables large folio in mapping: Let's take a look at involved racer: 1. How pages could be created and dirtied in nfs. write ksys_write vfs_write new_sync_write nfs_file_write generic_perform_write nfs_write_begin fgf_set_order __filemap_get_folio nfs_write_end nfs_update_folio nfs_writepage_setup nfs_mark_request_dirty filemap_dirty_folio __folio_mark_dirty __xa_set_mark 2. How dirty pages could be deleted in nfs. ioctl do_vfs_ioctl file_ioctl ioctl_preallocate vfs_fallocate nfs42_fallocate nfs42_proc_deallocate truncate_pagecache_range truncate_inode_pages_range truncate_inode_folio filemap_remove_folio page_cache_delete xas_store(&xas, NULL); 3.
