From: Chao Liu <liuchao@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8ee236dcaa690d09ca612622e8bc8d09c302021d ] If the inode has the compress flag, it will fail to use 'chattr -c +m' to remove its compress flag and tag no compress flag. However, the same command will be successful when executed again, as shown below: $ touch foo.txt $ chattr +c foo.txt $ chattr -c +m foo.txt chattr: Invalid argument while setting flags on foo.txt $ chattr -c +m foo.txt $ f2fs_io getflags foo.txt get a flag on foo.txt ret=0, flags=nocompression,inline_data Fix this by removing some checks in f2fs_setflags_common() that do not affect the original logic. I go through all the possible scenarios, and the results are as follows. Bold is the only thing that has changed. +---------------+-----------+-----------+----------+ | | file flags | + command +-----------+-----------+----------+ | | no flag | compr | nocompr | +---------------+-----------+-----------+----------+ | chattr +c | compr | compr | -EINVAL | | chattr -c | no flag | no flag | nocompr | | chattr +m | nocompr | -EINVAL | nocompr | | chattr -m | no flag | compr | no flag | | chattr +c +m | -EINVAL | -EINVAL | -EINVAL | | chattr +c -m | compr | compr | compr | | chattr -c +m | nocompr | *nocompr* | nocompr | | chattr -c -m | no flag | no flag | no flag | +---------------+-----------+-----------+----------+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/20220621064833.1079383-1-chaoliu719@xxxxxxxxx/ Fixes: 4c8ff7095bef ("f2fs: support data compression") Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <chao@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Chao Liu <liuchao@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/f2fs/file.c | 9 +-------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/f2fs/file.c b/fs/f2fs/file.c index defa068b4c7c..d56fcace1821 100644 --- a/fs/f2fs/file.c +++ b/fs/f2fs/file.c @@ -1844,10 +1844,7 @@ static int f2fs_setflags_common(struct inode *inode, u32 iflags, u32 mask) if (masked_flags & F2FS_COMPR_FL) { if (!f2fs_disable_compressed_file(inode)) return -EINVAL; - } - if (iflags & F2FS_NOCOMP_FL) - return -EINVAL; - if (iflags & F2FS_COMPR_FL) { + } else { if (!f2fs_may_compress(inode)) return -EINVAL; if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) && inode->i_size) @@ -1856,10 +1853,6 @@ static int f2fs_setflags_common(struct inode *inode, u32 iflags, u32 mask) set_compress_context(inode); } } - if ((iflags ^ masked_flags) & F2FS_NOCOMP_FL) { - if (masked_flags & F2FS_COMPR_FL) - return -EINVAL; - } fi->i_flags = iflags | (fi->i_flags & ~mask); f2fs_bug_on(F2FS_I_SB(inode), (fi->i_flags & F2FS_COMPR_FL) && -- 2.35.1
