Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] reiserfs: reject direct items that span block buffers
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:39:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611223944.74106-1-kylebot@openai.com> (raw)
Direct-item read, writeback, and tail-conversion paths assume that
the direct item bytes selected for one logical block fit in the mapped
page or block buffer. A crafted filesystem image can chain direct items
so a read starts near the end of a page and then copies the next direct
item past the page-cache page.
Track the remaining mapped-buffer bytes in the read and writeback paths,
and reject direct-to-indirect conversion when a direct item or accumulated
tail would cross the target block. Treat this as malformed metadata and
fail with -EIO instead of copying outside the mapped buffer.
