Subject: [PATCH 12/12] file-posix: reject a zone append to a full or conventional zone
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 22:57:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825205748.679968-13-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825205748.679968-1-cassel@kernel.org>

raw_co_prw() replaces the offset of a zone append with the write pointer
of the addressed zone, which assumes that the stored value names a
position inside that zone. It does not in two cases.

A full zone has its write pointer recorded at the end of the zone, since
get_zones_wp() stores start + len for BLK_ZONE_COND_FULL. That is the
first sector of the following zone, so the append is submitted there. The
kernel accepts it whenever that zone is empty, because it is a legal
write at its write pointer, and the completion path advances the wrong
zone because it recomputes the zone index from the replaced offset. The
data is written to a zone that was never addressed and success is
returned:

  zone 2 finished, then a 4 KiB append to zone 2:
  After zap done, the append sector is 0x180000     <- zone 3
  zone 2: wptr 0x180000, zcond:14 (full)
  zone 3: wptr 0x180008                             <- advanced

A conventional zone has no write pointer at all, and its array entry
carries only the type marker in the top bit, so the offset becomes
negative and the write fails with EINVAL. That is harmless but it reports
nothing about the actual mistake.

Reject both while the write pointer lock is held, since the state has to
be read and acted on atomically. check_zoned_request() in virtio-blk
refuses an append to a conventional zone, so that case needs a caller
that goes to the driver directly, but nothing there examines whether a
zone is full, so a guest can reach the misdirected write.

Fixes: 4751d09adcc3 ("block: introduce zone append write for zoned devices")
