Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Fix BTRFS arm64 tagged KASAN false-positive
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 13:34:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319053413.14771-1-daniel@quora.org> (raw)
When booting Linux 7.0-rc4 on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 with KASAN
software tagging with a BTRFS filesystem, we see:
BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in xxh64_update (lib/xxhash.c:143 lib/xxhash.c:283)
Read of size 8 at addr 7bff000804fe1000 by task kworker/u49:2/138
Pointer tag: [7b], memory tag: [b2]

The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

memcg:51ff000800e68ec0 aops:btree_aops ino:1

raw: 00000000002467bd 43ff00081d0cc6f0 00000003ffffffff 51ff000800e68ec0
page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected
Memory state around the buggy address:

ffff000804fe1100: b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2
ffff000804fe1200: b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2 b2
This occurs as contiguous pages may have different KASAN tags in the upper address
bits, leading to a tag mismatch if linear addressing is used.
Fix this by treating them as discontiguous.
