Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix reserved group initialization
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 10:18:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811021848.1821435-1-guzebing1612@gmail.com> (raw)

ext4 initializes the in-memory reserved uid and gid from the on-disk
default reserved id fields during mount. The s_resgid assignment
accidentally uses ext4_get_resuid(), so the reserved group is initialized
from the reserved uid instead of the reserved gid.

As a result, members of the configured reserved group can be denied access
to reserved blocks, while members of a group whose gid matches the
reserved uid can be incorrectly allowed to use them.

Initialize s_resgid with ext4_get_resgid() instead.

Fixes: 12c84dd4d308 ("ext4: add support for 32-bit default reserved uid and gid values")
