Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: don't BUG on node footer mismatch in f2fs_write_end_io
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
Syzbot reports a recurrence of the kernel BUG in f2fs_write_end_io:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/data.c:388!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI

Commit 50ac3ecd8e05 ("f2fs: fix to do sanity check on node footer
in {read,write}_end_io") added f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer() to
both end_io paths to catch corrupted node footers reachable from
fuzzed on-disk images. In f2fs_write_end_io(), however, the
existing
f2fs_bug_on(sbi, folio->index != nid_of_node(folio));
was left in place immediately after the new helper call. The
helper detects the mismatch, sets SBI_NEED_FSCK and emits a
ratelimited warning, but its return value is discarded and the
following f2fs_bug_on() panics on the exact same condition.
Tracing the reproducer confirms the failure path. A node folio
with index=11 is looked up via __get_node_folio(), the
synchronous sanity check at page_hit fails with -EFSCORRUPTED
and out_err clears uptodate but leaves the dirty bit set from
the folio's earlier lifecycle. A subsequent read_node_folio()
fails with the same error (footer_nid=0, ino=0), and
folio_end_read(folio, false) does not clear dirty either. The
writeback iterator then finds the still-dirty folio via the
PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag and submits it. f2fs_write_end_io()
observes folio->index=11 with nid_of_node(folio)=0 and panics
from softirq context via blk_done_softirq, even though
f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer() has already correctly identified
the corruption and would have signalled it via its return value.
A filesystem inconsistency reachable from a mounted image must
not panic the kernel. Mirror the handling already used in
f2fs_finish_read_bio(): capture the helper's return value and
mark the bio with BLK_STS_IOERR on mismatch instead of issuing
BUG_ON. SBI_NEED_FSCK is set by the helper, so fsck.f2fs will
repair the inconsistency on the next mount.
