This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit to the 6.1-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: ext4-fix-infinite-loop-when-replaying-fast_commit.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ad5da244374938e9d42fcacd4e17c18250f3afc2 Author: Luis Henriques (SUSE) <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 15 09:28:57 2024 +0100 ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit [ Upstream commit 907c3fe532253a6ef4eb9c4d67efb71fab58c706 ] When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an uninitialized extent_status struct. ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(), which will return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable. Because 'es' contains garbage, an integer overflow may happen causing an infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest generic/039. This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure in function ext4_es_find_extent_range(). Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem!
