This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled erofs: fix unsafe pagevec reuse of hooked pclusters to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: erofs-fix-unsafe-pagevec-reuse-of-hooked-pclusters.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Nov 19 03:21:54 PM CET 2021 From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 09:08:19 +0800 Subject: erofs: fix unsafe pagevec reuse of hooked pclusters To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-erofs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Chao Yu <chao@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20211116010819.122905-2-hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 86432a6dca9bed79111990851df5756d3eb5f57c upstream. There are pclusters in runtime marked with Z_EROFS_PCLUSTER_TAIL before actual I/O submission. Thus, the decompression chain can be extended if the following pcluster chain hooks such tail pcluster. As the related comment mentioned, if some page is made of a hooked pcluster and another followed pcluster, it can be reused for in-place I/O (since I/O should be submitted anyway): _______________________________________________________________ | tail (partial) page | head (partial) page | |_____PRIMARY_HOOKED___|____________PRIMARY_FOLLOWED____________| However, it's by no means safe to reuse as pagevec since if such PRIMARY_HOOKED pclusters finally move into bypass chain without I/O submission. It's somewhat hard to reproduce with LZ4 and I just found it (general protection fault) by ro_fsstressing a LZMA image for long time. I'm going to actively clean up related code together with multi-page folio adaption in the next few months. Let's address it directly for easier backporting for now.
