[PATCH 5.4 08/68] ext4: zero i_disksize when initializing the bootloader inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f5361da1e60d54ec81346aee8e3d8baf1be0b762 upstream.

If the boot loader inode has never been used before, the
EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT inode will initialize it, including setting the
i_size to 0.  However, if the "never before used" boot loader has a
non-zero i_size, then i_disksize will be non-zero, and the
inconsistency between i_size and i_disksize can trigger a kernel
warning:

 RIP: 0010:ext4_file_write_iter+0xbc7/0xd10

  __x64_sys_write+0x22/0x30
  do_syscall_64+0x39/0x80

Reproducer:
 1. create corrupted image and mount it:
       mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 200
       debugfs -wR "sif <5> size 25700" /tmp/foo.img
       mount -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img /mnt
       cd /mnt
       echo 123 > file
 2. Run the reproducer program:
       posix_memalign(&buf, 1024, 1024)
       fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);
       ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
       write(fd, buf, 1024);

Fix this by setting i_disksize as well as i_size to zero when
initiaizing the boot loader inode.
