Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] f2fs: disallow mmap write and data-modifying fallocate on atomic files
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 12:42:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110173914.2972639-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110173914.2972639-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 06dfe4a7eb696d868b196c2a49873142f19bd862 ]
Stores through a shared writable mapping and fallocate with
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE or
FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE do not go through ->write_begin, so they bypass
the COW inode and modify the original inode directly. Reject them while
the file is in atomic write mode, as fallocate already does for pinned
and compressed files. A write fault gets SIGBUS and fallocate gets
-EOPNOTSUPP.
fallocate without these flags only preallocates blocks and stays
allowed.
f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite() cannot take inode_lock, so check the flag under
invalidate_lock, and hold invalidate_lock in
f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write() from the flush until the flag is set.
Otherwise a fault could check the flag, then start_atomic_write could
flush and set the flag, and the fault would dirty the folio afterwards.
