Subject: [PATCH 2/2] exfat: don't map EXFAT_EOF_CLUSTER as a physical cluster
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 16:00:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113080013.2432300-3-youling.tang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113080013.2432300-1-youling.tang@linux.dev>
From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@kylinos.cn>
exfat_map_cluster() reports a hole by returning success with
*clu == EXFAT_EOF_CLUSTER for !create. __exfat_iomap_begin() does not
check that sentinel and converts it into a physical address far beyond
the device. A writeback that races with the i_size/i_blocks window in
exfat_cont_expand() can hit this: it submits a bio past the end of the
device, and fsync() or msync() returns -EIO. If the resulting iomap
length is zero, iomap_add_to_ioend() can loop on a zero-length bio and
hang a concurrent truncate.
When a range starts before the end of the cluster chain but extends past
it, exfat_map_cluster() returns the sentinel for the whole range. Map
the valid prefix first and only report the part beyond the chain as a
hole. Otherwise a writeback that straddles the end of the chain would
skip valid dirty data.
Report the remaining range as a hole instead of turning the sentinel
into an address, matching the old exfat_get_block() behavior.
