[PATCH 4.14 4.19 5.4 5.10 5.15 6.1] nilfs2: prevent general protection fault in nilfs_clear_dirty_page()

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

 



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.

Please apply this patch to the above stable trees instead of the patch
that could not be applied to them.  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.
