Subject: [PATCH 6.18 29/52] cifs: fix time_last_write stamp placement in setattr/truncate paths
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:54:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017155105.792601086@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017155104.830766652@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Frank Sorenson <sorenson@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit ecababf08905958ba8c125979c4e39fc2f1a8a05 ]
cifs_file_set_size() calls cifs_setsize() on success, which calls
i_size_write(), updating i_size to the new value. The subsequent
check attrs->ia_size != i_size_read() in both cifs_setattr_unix()
and cifs_setattr_nounix() therefore always evaluates false after a
successful cifs_file_set_size(), making the smp_store_release() of
time_last_write dead code. The truncate path was unprotected against
stale readdir size updates.
Move the stamp to before the cifs_file_set_size() RPC call, guarded
by attrs->ia_size != i_size_read() to exclude no-op same-size
ftruncate(2) calls from stamping time_last_write unnecessarily.
On the error path the stamp remains rather than being restored:
restoring a stale snapshot (prev_tlw) could silently erase a
concurrent _cifsFileInfo_put() close stamp if that close arrived
between the READ_ONCE and the smp_store_release. readdir is
suppressed until the stamp expires, which extends beyond one acregmax
if the caller retries failed truncations. stat() is unaffected: the
cifs_revalidate_dentry_attr() path calls cifs_fattr_to_inode() with
from_readdir=false, which bypasses the time_last_write check in
is_size_safe_to_change() entirely and always writes the authoritative
QUERY_INFO result to i_size.
Remove the now-unreachable stamp from the dead block in both functions.
Fixes: e8a8d54c2d50 ("cifs: prevent readdir from changing file size due to stale directory metadata")
