Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ceph: free page array when ceph_submit_write() fails
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2026 18:27:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126022715.404984-2-CFSworks@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126022715.404984-1-CFSworks@gmail.com>
If `locked_pages` is zero, the page array must not be allocated:
ceph_process_folio_batch() uses `locked_pages` to decide when to
allocate `pages`, and redundant allocations trigger
ceph_allocate_page_array()'s BUG_ON(), resulting in a worker oops (and
writeback stall) or even a kernel panic. Consequently, the main loop in
ceph_writepages_start() assumes that the lifetime of `pages` is confined
to a single iteration.
The ceph_submit_write() function claims ownership of the page array on
success (it is later freed when the write concludes). But failures only
redirty/unlock the pages and fail to free the array, making the failure
case in ceph_submit_write() fatal.
Free the page array (and reset locked_pages) in ceph_submit_write()'s
error-handling 'if' block so that the caller's invariant (that the array
does not remain in ceph_wbc) is maintained unconditionally, making
failures in ceph_submit_write() recoverable as originally intended.
Fixes: 1551ec61dc55 ("ceph: introduce ceph_submit_write() method")
