Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: reject encrypted inodes when block size > page size
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:19:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aeb8efa8beb72721fb4b13cffe6eb22c795ec33f.1790343958.git.berto@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790343958.git.berto@igalia.com>
Encryption is not supported when a filesystem's block size is larger
than the page size. ext4_check_large_folio() refuses to mount a
filesystem like that if the "encrypt" feature is already enabled, and
ext4_set_context() refuses to create encrypted inodes if the feature
is enabled after mounting.
However, a corrupted or hand-crafted filesystem can still have
encrypted inodes even if the "encrypt" feature is not set, and those
inodes can be unlocked if they're using v1 policies.
Check this in __ext4_iget() and reject them as corrupted.
Fixes: 709f0f1f1bf5 ("ext4: add checks for large folio incompatibilities when BS > PS")
