commit 782e53d0c14420858dbf0f8f797973c150d3b6d7 upstream. In a syzbot stress test that deliberately causes file system errors on nilfs2 with a corrupted disk image, it has been reported that nilfs_clear_dirty_page() called from nilfs_clear_dirty_pages() can cause a general protection fault. In nilfs_clear_dirty_pages(), when looking up dirty pages from the page cache and calling nilfs_clear_dirty_page() for each dirty page/folio retrieved, the back reference from the argument page to "mapping" may have been changed to NULL (and possibly others). It is necessary to check this after locking the page/folio. So, fix this issue by not calling nilfs_clear_dirty_page() on a page/folio after locking it in nilfs_clear_dirty_pages() if the back reference "mapping" from the page/folio is different from the "mapping" that held the page/folio just before.

This patch resolves the conflict caused by the recent page to folio conversion applied in nilfs_clear_dirty_pages(). The general protection fault reported by syzbot reproduces on these stable kernels before the page/folio conversion is applied. This fixes it. With this tweak, this patch is applicable from v3.10 to v6.2. Also, this patch has been tested against the -stable trees of each version in the subject prefix. fs/nilfs2/page.c | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/nilfs2/page.c b/fs/nilfs2/page.c index 39b7eea2642a..7d31833e68d1 100644 --- a/fs/nilfs2/page.c +++ b/fs/nilfs2/page.c @@ -369,7 +369,15 @@ void nilfs_clear_dirty_pages(struct address_space *mapping, bool silent) struct page *page = pvec.pages[i]; lock_page(page); - nilfs_clear_dirty_page(page, silent); + + /* + * This page may have been removed from the address + * space by truncation or invalidation when the lock + * was acquired.
