Subject: [PATCH 4.19 5.4 5.10 5.15 6.1 6.6 6.7] nilfs2: fix potential bug in end_buffer_async_write
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:29:28 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240220212928.5611-1-konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com> (raw)

commit 5bc09b397cbf1221f8a8aacb1152650c9195b02b upstream.

According to a syzbot report, end_buffer_async_write(), which handles the
completion of block device writes, may detect abnormal condition of the
buffer async_write flag and cause a BUG_ON failure when using nilfs2.

Nilfs2 itself does not use end_buffer_async_write().  But, the async_write
flag is now used as a marker by commit 7f42ec394156 ("nilfs2: fix issue
with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks") as
a means of resolving double list insertion of dirty blocks in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and nilfs_lookup_node_buffers() and the
resulting crash.

This modification is safe as long as it is used for file data and b-tree
node blocks where the page caches are independent.  However, it was
irrelevant and redundant to also introduce async_write for segment summary
and super root blocks that share buffers with the backing device.  This
led to the possibility that the BUG_ON check in end_buffer_async_write
would fail as described above, if independent writebacks of the backing
device occurred in parallel.

The use of async_write for segment summary buffers has already been
removed in a previous change.

Fix this issue by removing the manipulation of the async_write flag for
the remaining super root block buffer.

Please queue this patch to these stable trees instead of the patch
that failed to apply to them.

This patch is tailored to account for page/folio conversion and can
be applied from v4.8 to v6.7.

Also, all the builds and tests I did on each stable tree passed.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
