[PATCH experimental-tests] erofs-utils: tests: test FUSE error handling on corrupted inodes

[PATCH experimental-tests] erofs-utils: tests: test FUSE error handling on corrupted inodes

[Nithurshen]

This patch introduces a regression test (erofs/099) to verify that
the FUSE daemon gracefully handles corrupted inodes without crashing
or violating the FUSE protocol.

Recently, a bug was identified where erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
would fail, but erofsfuse_getattr() lacked a return statement
after sending an error reply. This caused a fall-through, sending
a second reply via fuse_reply_attr() and triggering a libfuse
segmentation fault.

To prevent future regressions, this test:
1. Creates a valid EROFS image.
2. Surgically corrupts the root inode (injecting random data at
   offset 1152) while leaving the superblock intact so it mounts.
3. Mounts the image in the foreground to capture daemon stderr.
4. Runs 'stat' to trigger the inode read failure.
5. Evaluates the stderr log to ensure no segfaults, aborts, or
   "multiple replies" warnings are emitted by libfuse.

If this testcase is erofsfuse-specific, we should
check FSTYP="erofsfuse" instead, otherwise this
case should be skiped.

Otherwise if this test case can test the kernel
as well, we should make the kernel tested too.

- Renamed cleanup() to _cleanup() to align with standard rc teardown.

You need to disable superblock checksum using:

_scratch_mkfs -Enosbcrc $localdir >> $seqres.full 2>&1 || _fail "failed to mkfs"

I think a better way is to use `dump.erofs` to get the NID, and use
meta_blkaddr * block_size + NID * 32 to calculate the inode offset:
for example:

$EROFSDUMP_PROG --path=/testfile $SCRATCH_DEV

Can you use `_scratch_unmount`? Does that work?

[PATCH v3 experimental-tests] erofs-utils: tests: test FUSE error handling on corrupted inodes

[Nithurshen]

This patch introduces a regression test (erofs/099) to verify that
the FUSE daemon gracefully handles corrupted inodes without crashing
or violating the FUSE protocol.

Recently, a bug was identified where erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
would fail, but erofsfuse_getattr() lacked a return statement
after sending an error reply. This caused a fall-through, sending
a second reply via fuse_reply_attr() and triggering a libfuse
segmentation fault.

To prevent future regressions, this test:
1. Creates a valid EROFS image with a test file.
2. Uses dump.erofs to dynamically determine the test file's inode offset.
3. Deterministically corrupts the inode by injecting 32 bytes of 0xFF,
   invalidating its layout while leaving the superblock intact.
4. Mounts the image in the foreground to capture daemon stderr.
5. Runs 'stat' on the corrupted file to trigger the inode read failure.
6. Evaluates the stderr log to ensure no segfaults, aborts, or
   "multiple replies" warnings are emitted by libfuse.

Changes in v3:
- Disabled superblock checksums using `-Enosbcrc` in _scratch_mkfs.
- Used `_scratch_unmount` instead of standard `umount`.
- Replaced the hardcoded root offset with a dynamic offset
  calculation for `/testfile` using `dump.erofs` as suggested.

Note regarding the corruption payload:
While implementing the dynamic offset for `/testfile`, I found
that injecting random garbage via `/dev/urandom` made the test
slightly flaky. If the random bytes happen to form a layout that
erofs_read_inode_from_disk() does not immediately reject as
invalid, the function returns success and the buggy FUSE error
path is bypassed.

To ensure the test is 100% deterministic, I changed the payload
to inject exactly 32 bytes of `0xFF`. This guarantees an invalid
`i_format`, reliably forcing the exact inode read error needed
to exercise the FUSE regression.

I don't find this as well.

[PATCH v4 experimental-tests] erofs-utils: tests: test FUSE error handling on corrupted inodes

[Nithurshen]

This patch introduces a regression test (erofs/099) to verify that
the FUSE daemon gracefully handles corrupted inodes without crashing
or violating the FUSE protocol.

Recently, a bug was identified where erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
would fail, but erofsfuse_getattr() lacked a return statement
after sending an error reply. This caused a fall-through, sending
a second reply via fuse_reply_attr() and triggering a libfuse
segmentation fault.

To prevent future regressions, this test:
1. Creates a valid EROFS image.
2. Surgically corrupts the root inode (injecting random data at
   offset 1152) while leaving the superblock intact so it mounts.
3. Mounts the image in the foreground to capture daemon stderr.
4. Runs 'stat' to trigger the inode read failure.
5. Evaluates the stderr log to ensure no segfaults, aborts, or
   "multiple replies" warnings are emitted by libfuse.

Changes in v4:
- Corrected the commit message and notes to accurately match the
  code submitted (v3 accidentally included a draft message that
  did not match the diff).

Changes in v3:
- Disabled superblock checksums using `-Enosbcrc` in _scratch_mkfs.
- Used `_scratch_unmount` instead of standard `umount`.

Note regarding the corruption method:
My apologies for the confusion in v3. The email described
using `dump.erofs` and `0xFF`, but the patch contained my code
using the hardcoded offset 1152 and `/dev/urandom`. I am resending
the patch as v4 so the commit message accurately reflects the code.

I originally kept the hardcoded root offset (1152) because targeting
`/testfile` dynamically with `/dev/urandom` was slightly flaky. If
the random bytes happened to form a valid-looking layout, the bug
was bypassed. Wiping 1024 bytes at offset 1152 reliably destroys the
root metadata and guarantees the bug triggers 100% of the time.

Is this hardcoded offset approach acceptable for this specific test?
If you strictly prefer the `dump.erofs` approach (using 0xFF instead
of urandom to guarantee the error), please let me know and I will
gladly send those updates in a v5 patch.

Are we still miscommunicating? I asked using `dump.erofs` for many
many times but you still send those useless patches?

Is it hard to understand? No hardcode offset please.

And why do you think /dev/urandom is a good idea? A regression test
is needed, determination is needed, why bother with /dev/urandom?

would fail, but erofsfuse_getattr() lacked a return statement
after sending an error reply. This caused a fall-through, sending
a second reply via fuse_reply_attr() and triggering a libfuse
segmentation fault.

To prevent future regressions, this test:
1. Creates a valid EROFS image.
2. Uses dump.erofs to dynamically determine the root directory's
   inode NID and metadata block address.
3. Deterministically corrupts the root inode by injecting 32 bytes
   of 0xFF, invalidating its layout while leaving the superblock intact.
4. Mounts the image in the foreground to capture daemon stderr.
5. Runs 'stat' on the root directory to trigger the inode read failure.
6. Evaluates the stderr log to ensure no segfaults, aborts, or
   "multiple replies" warnings are emitted by libfuse.

Changes in v5:
- Removed hardcoded offset 1152 and /dev/urandom logic.
- Implemented robust dump.erofs parsing to dynamically calculate 
  the exact root inode offset.
- Replaced the corruption payload with a deterministic 32-byte 
  0xFF sequence to guarantee i_format invalidation across all shells.

[PATCH v6 experimental-tests] erofs-utils: tests: test FUSE error handling on corrupted inodes

[Gao Xiang]

From: Nithurshen <nithurshen.dev@gmail.com>

This patch introduces a regression test to verify that the FUSE daemon
gracefully handles corrupted inodes without crashing or violating the
FUSE protocol.

Recently, a bug was identified where erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
would fail, but erofsfuse_getattr() lacked a return statement
after sending an error reply. This caused a fall-through, sending
a second reply via fuse_reply_attr() and triggering a libfuse
segmentation fault.

To prevent future regressions, this test:
1. Creates a valid EROFS image.
2. Uses dump.erofs to dynamically determine the root directory's
   inode NID and metadata block address.
3. Deterministically corrupts the root inode by injecting 32 bytes
   of 0xFF, invalidating its layout while leaving the superblock intact.
4. Mounts the image in the foreground to capture daemon stderr.
5. Runs `stat` on the root directory to trigger the inode read failure.
6. Evaluates the stderr log to ensure no segfaults, aborts, or
   "multiple replies" warnings are emitted by libfuse.
