Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] f2fs: disallow mmap write and data-modifying fallocate on atomic files
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:06:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110180356.3017239-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107054834-failed-6.1-06dfe4a7eb69@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.
