Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: use null daddr for unset first bad log block
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:06:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630100607.7150-1-alhouseenyousef@gmail.com> (raw)

xlog_do_recovery_pass() may return before setting first_bad.  The caller
must distinguish that case from an error at a valid log block, including
block zero after the log wraps.

Initialize first_bad to XFS_BUF_DADDR_NULL and test it explicitly before
treating the error as a torn write.

Fixes: 7088c4136fa1 ("xfs: detect and trim torn writes during log recovery")
Suggested-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
Reported-by: syzbot+b7dfbed0c6c2b5e9fd34@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b7dfbed0c6c2b5e9fd34

Changes in v2:
- Use XFS_BUF_DADDR_NULL instead of zero as the unset sentinel.
- Test the sentinel explicitly before handling a torn write.
