Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 14:54:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201092450.84991-1-activprithvi@gmail.com> (raw)
syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() because the
`cl_next_free_rec` field of the allocation chain list is 0, triggring the
BUG_ON(!cl->cl_next_free_rec) condition and panicking the kernel.
To fix this, `cl_next_free_rec` is checked inside the caller of
ocfs2_find_victim_chain() i.e. ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits() and if it is
equal to 0, ocfs2_error() is called, to log the corruption and force the
filesystem into read-only mode, to prevent further damage.
