Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: Fix rbtree backend for extent lengths greater than 2^32
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 14:43:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FBFE0F9.8050509@redhat.com> (raw)

Well, this took way too long to find, in retrospect.

In short, for a completely full filesystem with more than 2^32
blocks, the rbtree bitmap backend can assemble an extent of used
blocks which is longer than 2^32.  If it does, it will overflow
->count, and corrupt the rbtree for the bitmaps.

Discovered by completely filling a 32T filesystem using fallocate, and
then observing debugfs, dumpe2fs, and e2fsck all behaving badly.

(Note that filling with only 31 x 1T files did not show the problem,
because freespace was fragmented enough that there was no sufficiently
long range of used blocks.)

An alternative solution might be to limit the rb_extent to
32-bit counts, and not merging beyond that.  For fragmented
freespace, as normal, perhaps that would be a better memory
savings?  But this fixes the immediate problem and seems worth
merging to avoid bad situations such as e2fsck corrupting a
perfectly good 32T filesystem...
