Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix bug_on in ext4_writepages we got issue as follows: EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:1141: group 0, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 25 vs 31513 free cls ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:2708! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI CPU: 2 PID: 2147 Comm: rep Not tainted 5.18.0-rc2-next-20220413+ #155 RIP: 0010:ext4_writepages+0x1977/0x1c10 RSP: 0018:ffff88811d3e7880 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000001 RCX: ffff88811c098000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff88811c098000 RDI: 0000000000000002 RBP: ffff888128140f50 R08: ffffffffb1ff6387 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000007 R11: ffffed10250281ea R12: 0000000000000001 R13: 00000000000000a4 R14: ffff88811d3e7bb8 R15: ffff888128141028 FS: 00007f443aed9740(0000) GS:ffff8883aef00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000020007200 CR3: 000000011c2a4000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> do_writepages+0x130/0x3a0 filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x83/0xa0 filemap_flush+0xab/0xe0 ext4_alloc_da_blocks+0x51/0x120 __ext4_ioctl+0x1534/0x3210 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x12c/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 It may happen as follows: 1. write inline_data inode vfs_write new_sync_write ext4_file_write_iter ext4_buffered_write_iter generic_perform_write ext4_da_write_begin ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin -> If inline data size too small will allocate block to write, then mapping will has dirty page ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent ->clear EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA 2. fallocate do_vfs_ioctl ioctl_preallocate vfs_fallocate ext4_fallocate ext4_convert_inline_data ext4_convert_inline_data_nolock ext4_map_blocks -> fail will goto restore data ext4_restore_inline_data ext4_create_inline_data ext4_write_inline_data ext4_set_inode_state -> set inode EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA 3. writepages __ext4_ioctl ext4_alloc_da_blocks filemap_flush filemap_fdatawrite_wbc do_writepages ext4_writepages if (ext4_has_inline_data(inode)) BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA)) The root cause of this issue is we destory inline data until call ext4_writepages under delay allocation mode. But there maybe already convert from inline to extent. To solve this issue, we call filemap_flush first..
