Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: handle corrupted checkpoint count gracefully during deletion
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 14:08:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706110807.2835-1-igorpetindev@gmail.com> (raw)
Syzkaller reported a kernel warning in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints()
due to a corrupted checkpoint count on the storage medium where
le32_to_cpu(cp->cp_checkpoints_count) is less than the number of
checkpoints being deleted.
Triggering a WARN_ON() for disk image corruption is suboptimal. Fix
this by returning -EIO and reporting a filesystem error via
nilfs_error() instead of interrupting execution with a kernel warning.
Reported-by: syzbot+79b815da3aec0a6a4d02@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=79b815da3aec0a6a4d02
