Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] btrfs: revalidate cached tree blocks on the uptodate path
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:19:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313091924.570554-3-gality369@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313091924.570554-1-gality369@gmail.com>

read_extent_buffer_pages_nowait() returns immediately when an extent
buffer is already marked EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE. On that cache-hit path,
the caller supplied btrfs_tree_parent_check is not re-run.

This can let read_tree_root_path() accept a cached tree block whose
actual header level does not match the expected level derived from the
root item. In particular, if root_item.level is corrupted while the
actual root block was already cached and validated earlier with a
different expected level, the later read hits the cached uptodate path,
skips re-validation, and builds an inconsistent btrfs_root.

That inconsistent root can later lead to a null-ptr-deref in
handle_indirect_tree_backref(), because backref walking uses
root->root_item.level while btrfs_search_slot() fills path->nodes[]
according to the cached commit_root's actual level.

Fix this by re-validating cached extent buffers against the supplied
btrfs_tree_parent_check on the EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE path, and make
read_tree_root_path() pass its check to btrfs_buffer_uptodate().

This makes cache hits and fresh reads follow the same tree-parent
verification rules, and turns the corruption into a read failure instead
of constructing an inconsistent root object.
