Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: reject invalid block index in GC ioctl
Syzbot reported list corruption caused by a double list_add_tail() call on
bh->b_assoc_buffers within nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers().
Analysis revealed that the root cause was the insertion of a page/folio
with a page index of ULONG_MAX into the page cache via the GC ioctl.
filemap_get_folios_tag(), called by nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(),
repeatedly detects a dirty folio with a page index of ULONG_MAX due to
index wrap-around, leading to duplicate processing of dirty buffers.
As a preparatory step, the GC ioctl loads the page/folio of the block to
be moved during GC and inserts it into the page cache based on information
in the nilfs_vdesc structure passed as an argument. Normally, this does
not cause issues because the user-space GC library configures the
nilfs_vdesc structure properly. However, since there is no range check on
the parameters determining the page index, a request with artificially
crafted parameters -- such as those generated by Syzbot -- can result in a
page/folio being inserted with a page index of ULONG_MAX, triggering the
above problem.
This resolves the issue by checking the ranges of 'vd_offset' and
'vd_vblocknr' in the nilfs_vdesc structure that determine the page index,
thereby preventing the invalid page/folio insertions.

[ Upstream commit 17c46a45cdb94c500f4e93b176cdd61931b03020 ]
Patch series "nilfs2: fix kernel-doc comments for function return values",
v2.
This series fixes the inadequacies in the return value descriptions in
nilfs2's kernel-doc comments (mainly incorrect formatting), as well as the
lack of return value descriptions themselves, and fixes most of the
remaining warnings that are output when the kernel-doc script is run with
the "-Wall" option.
This patch (of 7):
In the kernel-doc comments for functions, there are many cases where the
format of the return value description is inaccurate, such as "Return
Value: ...", which causes many warnings to be output when the kernel-doc
script is executed with the "-Wall" option.
This fixes such incorrectly formatted return value descriptions for ioctl
functions.

[ Upstream commit a1735eae55448bc79c2da6593455791e886f6ed8 ]
Syzbot reported list corruption caused by a double list_add_tail() call on
bh->b_assoc_buffers within nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers().
Analysis revealed that the root cause was the insertion of a page/folio
with a page index of ULONG_MAX into the page cache via the GC ioctl.
filemap_get_folios_tag(), called by nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(),
repeatedly detects a dirty folio with a page index of ULONG_MAX due to
index wrap-around, leading to duplicate processing of dirty buffers.
As a preparatory step, the GC ioctl loads the page/folio of the block to
be moved during GC and inserts it into the page cache based on information
in the nilfs_vdesc structure passed as an argument. Normally, this does
not cause issues because the user-space GC library configures the
nilfs_vdesc structure properly. However, since there is no range check on
the parameters determining the page index, a request with artificially
crafted parameters -- such as those generated by Syzbot -- can result in a
page/folio being inserted with a page index of ULONG_MAX, triggering the
above problem.
This resolves the issue by checking the ranges of 'vd_offset' and
'vd_vblocknr' in the nilfs_vdesc structure that determine the page index,
thereby preventing the invalid page/folio insertions.
