Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix missing continue after -ENOENT in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() calls nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() to
get the current block number of each block descriptor. When the lookup
returns -ENOENT, meaning the block does not exist, it sets bd_blocknr
to 0 and continues processing.
However, if bd_oblocknr is also 0, the subsequent check:
if (bdescs[i].bd_blocknr != bdescs[i].bd_oblocknr)
continue;
will not skip the block, and nilfs_bmap_mark() will be called on a
non-existent block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return
-ENOENT, triggering the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT).
Fix this by adding a continue statement after setting bd_blocknr to 0
when the lookup returns -ENOENT, so that dead blocks are always skipped
regardless of the value of bd_oblocknr.
Fixes: 7942b919f732 ("nilfs2: ioctl operations")
