Subject: [PATCH 16/48] xfs: bound the assembled region size during recovery
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:01:06 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013060204.3138690-17-dgc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013060204.3138690-1-dgc@kernel.org>
A region split across continuation op headers is grown one fragment at a time
with no limit on the total size, so a corrupt continuation stream can drive an
unbounded allocation during recovery.
Add XLOG_MAX_REGION_SIZE - the largest object logged in a single region - as a
format level bound usable by both the log write and recovery paths, and reject
a continuation once the assembled region would exceed it. Use the same constant
for the existing per-op-header length check.
