Reported-by: Olga Kornievskaia Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: Based on my exhaustive investigation, here is my determination: ## **Backport Status: YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ## Detailed Justification: ### 1. **Fixes a Critical Data Integrity Bug** The commit addresses "EOF page pollution" - a serious data corruption issue where garbage data can become visible in files after copy/clone operations. The code shows that when NFSv4.2 copy offload or clone operations extend a file, mmap'd data written beyond the old EOF can incorrectly become part of the file, violating POSIX semantics and user expectations. ### 2. **Completes a Previous Incomplete Fix** This is a follow-up to commit `b1817b18ff20e` which fixed the same issue for other NFS operations but missed the copy/clone code paths. The original fix addressed nfs_write_begin(), nfs_setattr(), nfs42_proc_allocate(), and nfs42_proc_zero_range(), but overlooked the copy and clone operations. This commit completes that fix. ### 3. **Small and Contained Change** The change is minimal (13 insertions, 6 deletions) and surgical: - Adds one `loff_t oldsize` variable capture in two functions - Modifies `nfs42_copy_dest_done()` signature to accept the old size - Adds a single `nfs_truncate_last_folio()` call in the common path - Changes are confined entirely to fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c ### 4. **Clear Bug Fix, Not a Feature** The commit purely fixes incorrect behavior - it doesn't add new functionality or change APIs. It ensures that newly extended file regions contain zeros as expected, rather than garbage data from previous mmap writes. ### 5. **Low Risk of Regression** - The `nfs_truncate_last_folio()` function includes safety checks (early return if from >= to, handles lock failures gracefully) - Only operates on a single folio at the EOF boundary - The same fix pattern is already proven in other NFS operations since September 2025 - No changes to external interfaces or APIs ### 6. **Affects User-Visible Behavior** Users could experience data corruption when using NFSv4.2 copy_file_range() or clone operations that extend files. This is particularly problematic for: - Database applications using copy offload - Backup/restore operations - Container storage systems using clone operations - Any application using mmap() in combination with copy/clone ### 7. **Testing Coverage** The issue is detected by xfstest generic/363, providing a clear test case for validation. The commit message indicates this was reported by Olga Kornievskaia from Red Hat, suggesting it was found in production or testing environments. ### 8. **Follows Stable Rules** According to stable kernel rules, this qualifies because it: - Fixes a bug that bothers users (data corruption) - Is already in Linus' tree - Is small (under 100 lines) - Fixes only one thing - Has no dependencies on other patches ### 9. **Similar Issues Were Backported** The investigation shows similar NFS copy/clone fixes were marked for stable: - `3f015d89a47cd` "NFSv42: Fix pagecache invalidation after COPY/CLONE" (Cc: stable) - This establishes precedent for backporting NFSv4.2 copy/clone data integrity fixes ### 10. **Cross-Filesystem Issue** The same "EOF page pollution" issue affected multiple filesystems (ext4, btrfs, f2fs), indicating this is a fundamental correctness issue that should be fixed in all supported kernels. The commit represents a critical data integrity fix that should be backported to prevent data corruption in NFSv4.2 copy and clone operations on stable kernels. fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c | 19 +++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c b/fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c index 4420b8740e2ff..e2fea37c53484 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs42proc.c @@ -362,22 +362,27 @@ static int process_copy_commit(struct file *dst, loff_t pos_dst, /** * nfs42_copy_dest_done - perform inode cache updates after clone/copy offload - * @inode: pointer to destination inode + * @file: pointer to destination file * @pos: destination offset * @len: copy length + * @oldsize: length of the file prior to clone/copy * * Punch a hole in the inode page cache, so that the NFS client will * know to retrieve new data. * Update the file size if necessary, and then mark the inode as having * invalid cached values for change attribute, ctime, mtime and space used. */ -static void nfs42_copy_dest_done(struct inode *inode, loff_t pos, loff_t len) +static void nfs42_copy_dest_done(struct file *file, loff_t pos, loff_t len, + loff_t oldsize) { + struct inode *inode = file_inode(file); + struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping; loff_t newsize = pos + len; loff_t end = newsize - 1; - WARN_ON_ONCE(invalidate_inode_pages2_range(inode->i_mapping, - pos >> PAGE_SHIFT, end >> PAGE_SHIFT)); + nfs_truncate_last_folio(mapping, oldsize, pos); + WARN_ON_ONCE(invalidate_inode_pages2_range(mapping, pos >> PAGE_SHIFT, + end >> PAGE_SHIFT)); spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); if (newsize > i_size_read(inode)) @@ -410,6 +415,7 @@ static ssize_t _nfs42_proc_copy(struct file *src, struct nfs_server *src_server = NFS_SERVER(src_inode); loff_t pos_src = args->src_pos; loff_t pos_dst = args->dst_pos; + loff_t oldsize_dst = i_size_read(dst_inode); size_t count = args->count; ssize_t status; @@ -483,7 +489,7 @@ static ssize_t _nfs42_proc_copy(struct file *src, goto out; } - nfs42_copy_dest_done(dst_inode, pos_dst, res->write_res.count); + nfs42_copy_dest_done(dst, pos_dst, res->write_res.count, oldsize_dst); nfs_invalidate_atime(src_inode); status = res->write_res.count; out: @@ -1250,6 +1256,7 @@ static int _nfs42_proc_clone(struct rpc_message *msg, struct file *src_f, struct nfs42_clone_res res = { .server = server, }; + loff_t oldsize_dst = i_size_read(dst_inode); int status; msg->rpc_argp = &args; @@ -1284,7 +1291,7 @@ static int _nfs42_proc_clone(struct rpc_message *msg, struct file *src_f, /* a zero-length count means clone to EOF in src */ if (count == 0 && res.dst_fattr->valid & NFS_ATTR_FATTR_SIZE) count = nfs_size_to_loff_t(res.dst_fattr->size) - dst_offset; - nfs42_copy_dest_done(dst_inode, dst_offset, count); + nfs42_copy_dest_done(dst_f, dst_offset, count, oldsize_dst); status = nfs_post_op_update_inode(dst_inode, res.dst_fattr); } -- 2.51.0
