Subject: nilfs2: fix nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() not set segment usage as dirty
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 14:33:04 +0800
In nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty(), the buffer and inode are set dirty, but
nilfs_segment_usage is not set dirty, which makes it can be found by
nilfs_sufile_alloc() because it checks nilfs_segment_usage_clean(su).
This will cause the problem reported by syzkaller:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=c7c4748e11ffcc367cef04f76e02e931833cbd24
It's because the case starts with segbuf1.segnum = 3, nextnum = 4, and
nilfs_sufile_alloc() not called to allocate a new segment.
The first time nilfs_segctor_extend_segments() allocated segment
segbuf2.segnum = segbuf1.nextnum = 4, then nilfs_sufile_alloc() found
nextnextnum = 4 segment because its su is not set dirty. So
segbuf2.nextnum = 4, which causes next segbuf3.segnum = 4.
sb_getblk() will get same bh for segbuf2 and segbuf3, and this bh is added
to both buffer lists of two segbuf. It makes the list head of second list
linked to the first one. When iterating the first one, it will access and
deref the head of second, which causes NULL pointer dereference.
