Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] ocfs2: restrict OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT suballoc slot to system inodes
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 14:32:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901063301.984933-2-joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901063301.984933-1-joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com>

ocfs2_validate_inode_block() currently permits i_suballoc_slot to be
OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT for any dinode.  Only system inodes created by
mkfs.ocfs2 are allocated from the global allocator and thus
legitimately carry this value; regular inodes are always allocated
from a per-slot suballocator and hence must have a valid slot.

If a corrupted regular inode with OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT is accepted,
ocfs2_remove_inode() will pass the slot to ocfs2_get_system_file_inode()
and get_local_system_inode() will hit BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT)
when the inode is deleted.  This can be triggered by an unprivileged
user unlinking such a corrupted file.

Reject OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT for non-system dinodes during validation,
while still accepting it for system inodes.  Note that a crafted dinode
carrying OCFS2_SYSTEM_FL passes the check above, yet a plain lookup of
it still used to BUG() in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() ("system file state
is ambiguous").  Since i_flags comes from disk, handle that mismatch
with ocfs2_error() instead of BUG_ON() as well.
