2026-07-24ntfs3: fix boundary check in ntfs_dir_count()Konstantin Komarov
ntfs_dir_emit() skips index entries whose fname does not fit in e->size, but ntfs_dir_count() still accepted them via de_get_fname() alone. dir_is_empty() can then disagree with readdir: a malformed directory appears empty in ls while rmdir fails with ENOTEMPTY. Factor the fname/key bounds check into de_fname_fits() and use it from ntfs_dir_emit() and de_countable_fname() so count/readdir share the same entry acceptance rules.

2026-07-24fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid initWeiming Wu
ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the $Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is large enough to hold them. mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record, resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer, so reading root->type / root->rule reads past the allocation. Use resident_data_ex(attr, sizeof(struct INDEX_ROOT)) and bail out when it returns NULL, as ntfs_security_init() already does for $SDH / $SII. The attribute is only parsed while mounting a crafted image, so this needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

2026-07-23fs/resctrl: Pass error reading event through to user spaceReinette Chatre
Reading of event data is managed through populating a struct rmid_read with properties of event needing to be read. This data is dispatched to an appropriate CPU and upon completion any error can be found in rmid_read::err, or on success the event data will be in rmid_read::val. rmid_read::err is not updated in the unlikely scenario that the reading of the event was dispatched to a wrong CPU. If this ever occurs due to a bug in resctrl the user space read will return "success" but the data reported will be invalid. Ensure accurate error reporting so that if there may be an issue with how resctrl picks a CPU it could be learned with an error to user space instead of silent failure.

2026-07-23ceph: avoid fs reclaim while using current->journal_infoMax Kellermann
handle_reply() stores a `ceph_mds_request` pointer in `current->journal_info` while filling the inode and dentry cache from an MDS reply. An allocation in this section can enter direct reclaim and prune dentries from another filesystem. If this dirties an ext4 inode, ext4 starts a JBD2 transaction. JBD2 interprets the Ceph request in `current->journal_info` as a journal handle and dereferences the request's `r_tid` as `h_transaction`, causing a kernel crash, e.g.: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000077b4818 [...] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 2699135 Comm: kworker/6:3 Tainted: G W 6.18.38-i3 #1113 NONE [...] Workqueue: ceph-msgr ceph_con_workfn pstate: 80400009 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : jbd2__journal_start+0x2c/0x208 lr : __ext4_journal_start_sb+0x100/0x178 [...] Call trace: jbd2__journal_start+0x2c/0x208 (P) __ext4_journal_start_sb+0x100/0x178 ext4_dirty_inode+0x3c/0x90 __mark_inode_dirty+0x58/0x400 iput.part.0+0x2b0/0x370 iput+0x18/0x30 dentry_unlink_inode+0xc0/0x158 __dentry_kill+0x80/0x250 shrink_dentry_list+0x90/0x130 prune_dcache_sb+0x60/0x98 super_cache_scan+0xe8/0x190 do_shrink_slab+0x174/0x388 shrink_slab+0xd8/0x4c0 shrink_node+0x31c/0x908 do_try_to_free_pages+0xd0/0x508 try_to_free_pages+0x11c/0x238 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x4d0/0xdd0 __folio_alloc_noprof+0x18/0x70 __filemap_get_folio+0x248/0x440 ceph_readdir_prepopulate+0x570/0x9e8 mds_dispatch+0x1424/0x1ba0 ceph_con_process_message+0x74/0xa0 ceph_con_v1_try_read+0x3a0/0x1510 ceph_con_workfn+0x260/0x460 Enter a scoped NOFS allocation context and leave it after clearing `journal_info`.

2026-07-23ceph: add owner/capability checks for CEPH_IOC_SET_LAYOUT*Max Kellermann
These permission checks were already missing in the initial impementation of these ioctls. This Ceph allows any user who owns a file descriptor to manipulate the layout of any file, even if they don't have write permissions. It might be a good idea to guard other ioctls with permission checks as well or even disallow regular users (even if they own the file) to manipulate layout settings completely, as this may be abused to DoS the Ceph servers, but right now, I find it most urgent to have setter checks at all.

2026-07-23ceph: fix hanging __ceph_get_caps() with stale mds_wantedMax Kellermann
A reader can hang forever in __ceph_get_caps() when the client no longer holds `FILE_RD`, but local cap state still says that the capability is already wanted (via `mds_wanted`). One way to trigger this is through MDS cap revocation. If another client performs a conflicting operation, the MDS can revoke `FILE_RD` from the reader; the next read then has to reacquire `FILE_RD`. If the cap update that should request `FILE_RD` never reaches the MDS after `cap->mds_wanted` was raised, the reader is left holding only non-file caps while local `mds_wanted` still includes the file read caps. In that state, try_get_cap_refs() sees `need <= mds_wanted` and returns 0, so __ceph_get_caps() just waits on `i_cap_wq`. If the cap update that was supposed to request `FILE_RD never reaches the MDS after `cap->mds_wanted was` raised, no further request is sent and the waiter can sleep indefinitely until unrelated cap traffic happens to wake it up. The ordering issue is that `cap->mds_wanted` is updated in __prep_cap() before the `CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_CAPS message` is actually queued for send. That makes one field serve two different meanings at once: what this client wants, and what the client believes the MDS already knows it wants. A proper fix would be to split those states and track whether a cap update is actually in flight or has been observed by the MDS. However, simply moving the `cap->mds_wanted assignment` later would not be sufficient: queueing the message in the messenger does not guarantee that the MDS processed that specific wanted set, and reconnect or message loss can still invalidate that assumption. Fixing that properly would require a larger rework of the cap state machine. To allow simpler backports to stable kernels, this patch implements a simpler workaround: - stop waiting forever in __ceph_get_caps(); after a bounded wait, fall back to the renew path - make ceph_renew_caps() issue a synchronous `OPEN` request whenever the inode still does not actually hold the wanted caps, instead of only calling ceph_check_caps() The extra issued-vs-wanted check in ceph_renew_caps() is necessary because the previous test only checked whether the inode still had any real caps at all. That is not enough after revocation: the client can still hold something like `pLs` and yet be missing `FILE_RD` completely. In that case, falling back to ceph_check_caps() is not sufficient, because it still trusts `cap->mds_wanted` and may resend nothing. By requiring `(issued & wanted) == wanted` before taking the asynchronous path, the code only uses ceph_check_caps() when the `wanted caps` are already actually issued. Otherwise, it sends the synchronous `OPEN` renew. This preserves the existing asynchronous fast path when the wanted caps are already issued, avoids changing cap-state semantics, and fixes the hang by guaranteeing that a stalled waiter eventually retries through a path that does not rely on the stale `mds_wanted` state.

2026-07-23ceph: fix refcount leak in ceph_readdir()WenTao Liang
The ceph_readdir() function allocates a ceph_mds_request via ceph_mdsc_create_request() and stores it in dfi->last_readdir. In the directory entry processing loop, if the entry's offset is less than ctx->pos or if the inode pointer is unexpectedly NULL, the function returns -EIO without releasing the reference held by dfi->last_readdir, causing a refcount leak. Fix this by adding ceph_mdsc_put_request(dfi->last_readdir) before returning on these error paths. Also set dfi->last_readdir to NULL for safety, matching the cleanup done at the normal exit.

On several error paths where the function returns early (folio lookup failure, snapshot context allocation failure, and writepages submission failure), the function returns without calling atomic_long_dec_return() to decrement the counter. Each leaked increment keeps the counter above zero, which can prevent the filesystem from cleanly unmounting or suspending writes.

2026-07-23ceph: fix pre-auth out-of-bounds read on snaptrace in ceph_handle_caps()Bryam Vargas
ceph_handle_caps() reads snap_trace_len from the wire-format ceph_mds_caps header and uses it unconditionally to build a fake end pointer (snaptrace + snaptrace_len) that is later handed to ceph_update_snap_trace() in the CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT case: snaptrace = h + 1; snaptrace_len = le32_to_cpu(h->snap_trace_len); p = snaptrace + snaptrace_len; ... case CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT: if (snaptrace_len) { ... if (ceph_update_snap_trace(mdsc, snaptrace, snaptrace + snaptrace_len, false, &realm)) { ... } ceph_update_snap_trace() then decodes a struct ceph_mds_snap_realm from snaptrace using ceph_decode_need(&p, e, sizeof(*ri), bad) with the attacker-supplied fake end e == snaptrace + snaptrace_len. With snaptrace_len == 0xFFFFFFFF the bound check is trivially satisfied, ri = p reads sizeof(struct ceph_mds_snap_realm) past the legitimate msg->front buffer, and ri->num_snaps / ri->num_prior_parent_snaps then drive further out-of-bounds reads of the encoded snap arrays. The eleven msg_version >= 2 .. msg_version >= 12 decoder blocks above the op switch each catch this OOB through their ceph_decode_*_safe() / ceph_decode_need() helpers, but they sit behind a hdr.version-gated if, so a malicious or compromised MDS that sets msg->hdr.version = 1 reaches the IMPORT path with no version-gated decoder having validated snap_trace_len. The shape has been present since ceph_handle_caps() was introduced. Validate snap_trace_len against the message front buffer before consuming it, using the canonical ceph_decode_need() / ceph_has_room() helper. The helper bounds the length with subtraction (n <= end - p, guarded by end >= p) rather than pointer addition, so it is wrap-safe for the attacker-controlled u32 length on 32-bit builds where p + snap_trace_len could overflow the address space. This matches the rest of the ceph decode path (e.g. the pool_ns_len check a few lines below), and the existing goto bad cleanup already covers this exit path.

2026-07-23eventpoll: pin files while checking reverse pathsGuidong Han
Commit 319c15174757 ("epoll: take epitem list out of struct file") intentionally removed temporary file references from the reverse path check list. At the time, both epitems and their files were freed after an RCU grace period, so unlist_file() could obtain file->f_lock through an epitem while clear_tfile_check_list() held rcu_read_lock(). Commit 0ede61d8589c ("file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU") made struct file SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and removed its RCU-delayed freeing. RCU still protects the epitem, but no longer keeps the referenced file from being freed and reused. A concurrent close can therefore make unlist_file() lock or unlock f_lock in a recycled file object. This violates the documented SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU rule requiring a reference before acquiring an object's lock. The race was reproduced, causing a wild unlock of f_lock in a recycled file and breaking its mutual exclusion. Add ->file to epitems_head to remember the pinned file independently of ->epitems. A concurrent EPOLL_CTL_DEL can empty ->epitems before the head is unlisted, leaving no epi->ffd.file from which to drop the reference. In list_file(), acquire the reference before adding the head to the check list. The caller either owns a reference or holds the ep->mtx for the epitem leading to the file. In the latter case, file_ref_get() can fail after the last reference is dropped, but eventpoll_release_file() must acquire the same mutex before the file can be freed. The dying leaf can be skipped because removing links cannot increase the reverse path count. In unlist_file(), epnested_mutex excludes another list_file() or unlist_file(), while head->next prevents a concurrent EPOLL_CTL_DEL from freeing the head. Save head->file locally, clear it with head->next under f_lock, and drop the reference after the RCU-protected operation.

2026-07-23fs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into individual filesystemsUsama Arif
Commit 0baad6f9b997 ("fs/super: skip non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects in memcg slab shrink") added a check in fs/super.c that skipped every ->nr_cached_objects() hook whenever the shrinker was invoked for a non-root memcg, on the assumption that none of them honour sc->memcg. That assumption is wrong for XFS, whose inode-reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. Encoding a blanket "never memcg-aware" policy in fs/super.c short-circuits that path. Push the check down into the callbacks whose counters really are irrelevant to per-memcg reclaim - btrfs_nr_cached_objects() and shmem_unused_huge_count() - and drop the fs/super.c gate. Each filesystem can now lift the restriction independently if its counter later grows memcg awareness, without touching fs/super.c. Introduce mem_cgroup_shrink_is_root() in <linux/memcontrol.h> so the callbacks don't open-code "sc->memcg is NULL or root".

2026-07-23iomap: fix out-of-bounds bitmap_set() with zero-length rangeZhang Yi
ifs_set_range_dirty() and ifs_set_range_uptodate() compute last_blk as (off + len - 1) >> i_blkbits. When off is 0 and len is 0, the unsigned subtraction underflows to SIZE_MAX, producing a huge last_blk and nr_blks value that causes bitmap_set() to write far beyond the ifs->state allocation. Regarding ifs_set_range_uptodate(), it is temporarily safe because len cannot be passed in as 0. However, for ifs_set_range_dirty() this is reachable from __iomap_write_end(): when copy_folio_from_iter_atomic() returns 0 (e.g. user buffer fault) and the folio is already uptodate, the guard at the top of __iomap_write_end() does not trigger because !folio_test_uptodate() is false, and iomap_set_range_dirty() is called with copied == 0. Add a !len guard to both functions before the computation, so that a zero-length range is a no-op.

2026-07-23iomap: fix incorrect did_zero setting in iomap_zero_iter()Zhang Yi
The did_zero output parameter was unconditionally set after the loop, which is incorrect. It should only be set when the zeroing operation actually completes, not when IOMAP_F_STALE is set or when IOMAP_F_FOLIO_BATCH is set but !folio causes the loop to break early, or when iomap_iter_advance() returns an error. This causes did_zero to be incorrectly set when zeroing a clean unwritten extent because the loop exits early without actually zeroing any data. Fix it by using a local variable to track whether any folio was actually zeroed, and only set did_zero after the loop if zeroing happened.

2026-07-23iomap: support invalidating partial foliosZhang Yi
Current iomap_invalidate_folio() can only invalidate an entire folio. If we truncate a partial folio on a filesystem where the block size is smaller than the folio size, it will leave behind dirty bits for the truncated or punched blocks. During the write-back process, it will attempt to map the invalid hole range. Fortunately, this has not caused any real problems so far because the ->writeback_range() function corrects the length. However, the implementation of FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE in ext4 depends on the support for invalidating partial folios. When ext4 partially zeroes out a dirty and unwritten folio, it does not perform a flush first like XFS. Therefore, if the dirty bits of the corresponding area cannot be cleared, the zeroed area after writeback remains in the written state rather than reverting to the unwritten state. Fix this by supporting invalidation of partial folios.

The block range calculation in ifs_clear_range_dirty() is incorrect when partially clearing a range in a folio. We cannot clear the dirty bit of the first block or the last block if the start or end offset is not blocksize-aligned. This has not yet caused any issues since we always clear a whole folio in iomap_writeback_folio().

do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers() with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before calling the callback and releases it afterwards.

2026-07-22ext4: write back partial-zeroed edges in WRITE_ZEROESZhang Yi
FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES requires that all blocks in the requested range end up as written extents with zeroed content. For unaligned edges that were partial-zeroed in dirty unwritten or delalloc state, the buffer is left dirty while the underlying extent may not yet be converted to written. As a result, a subsequent SYNC write to this range would still trigger metadata changes, which violates the semantics of WRITE_ZEROES. Fix this by calling filemap_write_and_wait_range() for partial-zeroed edges to flush out the zeroed data and ensure the extent conversion is complete.

2026-07-22ext4: zero out whole block for clean edges in WRITE_ZEROESZhang Yi
FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES requires that all blocks in the requested range end up as written extents with zeroed content. For unaligned edges that were already allocated, ext4_zero_partial_blocks() zeros them directly. However, for unaligned edges whose underlying extent is a clean unwritten extent or a hole, the extent type remains unwritten after partial zeroing, which does not align with the semantics of WRITE_ZEROES. Therefore, when ext4_zero_partial_blocks() skips partial zeroing, it indicates that the corresponding edges are clean unwritten extents or holes. In this case, we need to expand the aligned allocation range outward to cover such edges, so that ext4_alloc_file_blocks() can correctly allocate blocks for the unaligned range. Edges that were partial-zeroed (i.e., written or dirty) are left untouched.

If a checkpoint transaction contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can scan its entire checkpoint list while holding journal->j_list_lock. Large checkpoint lists can result in excessive lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, causing soft lockups or RCU stalls. Pass nr_to_scan into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and decrement it for every buffer examined, including busy buffers. Pass NULL from checkpoint cleanup paths so their existing full-list behavior is preserved.

journal_shrink_one_cp_list() skips busy checkpoint buffers when called with JBD2_SHRINK_BUSY_SKIP. The continue statement on this path also skips the need_resched() check at the end of the loop body. Consequently, when a checkpoint list contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can walk the entire list while holding journal->j_list_lock, even when a reschedule has been requested. Large checkpoint lists under memory pressure can therefore cause long lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, resulting in soft lockups or RCU stalls. Route the busy-buffer path through the need_resched() check so that the shrinker can release j_list_lock and reschedule promptly, restoring parity with the clean-buffer path, which already checks need_resched().

Remove: - ext4_expand_inode_array() and ext4_xattr_inode_array_free() - struct ext4_xattr_inode_array and EIA_INCR/EIA_MASK defines - ea_inode_array parameter from ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all(), ext4_xattr_release_block(), and ext4_xattr_delete_inode() - ea_inode_array variable from ext4_evict_inode() Instead, ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all() now calls ext4_put_ea_inode() directly after processing each EA inode. This simplifies the code by eliminating multi-layer parameter threading and removes the need for callers to manage array lifetime.

2026-07-22ext4: convert all EA inode iput() calls to ext4_put_ea_inode()Yun Zhou
Convert all iput() calls on EA inodes in xattr code paths to use ext4_put_ea_inode(). This establishes a uniform rule: every EA inode reference release in ext4 xattr code goes through ext4_put_ea_inode(), eliminating the need to analyze each call site individually for lock safety. Converted sites: - ext4_xattr_inode_get() read path - ext4_xattr_inode_inc_ref_all() main loop and cleanup path - ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all() error paths - ext4_xattr_inode_create() error path - ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find() mismatch path - ext4_xattr_inode_lookup_create() out_err - ext4_xattr_set_entry() old_ea_inode - ext4_xattr_block_set() new block path, cleanup, and tmp_inode - ext4_xattr_ibody_set() error and success paths - ext4_xattr_delete_inode() quota loop For most of these, iput_if_not_last() will succeed (the EA inode has other references) making the overhead a single atomic operation.

2026-07-22ext4: introduce ext4_put_ea_inode() for safe deferred iputYun Zhou
Calling iput() on EA inodes while holding xattr_sem or a jbd2 handle can trigger write_inode_now() -> ext4_writepages() -> s_writepages_rwsem, creating a lock ordering issue during mount (!SB_ACTIVE). Add ext4_put_ea_inode() which uses iput_if_not_last() as a fast path. If this is not the last reference, it is dropped immediately. If this is the last reference, the inode is linked onto a per-sb lock-free llist via i_ea_iput_node (embedded in ext4_inode_info, sharing space with the unused xattr_sem of EA inodes via a union) and a delayed worker (1 jiffie) performs the final iput() in a clean context. This avoids per-iput memory allocation. Flush points ensure all pending EA inode evictions complete before dependent resources become unavailable: - ext4_put_super / failed_mount9: before quota shutdown - failed_mount_wq: before freeing xattr caches - failed_mount3a: before freeing shrinker (journal replay case) - ext4_sync_fs: before remount-ro, freeze, or sync completes Initialization is placed before journal loading since fast commit replay may trigger evictions that call ext4_put_ea_inode(). Also moves init_rwsem(xattr_sem) from init_once to ext4_alloc_inode to handle slab object reuse after the union field has been overwritten.

2026-07-22ext4: check dir entry fits before reading the hash trailer in ext4_search_dir()Xiang Mei
For casefolded encrypted directories ext4 stores an 8-byte hash trailer after the name (EXT4_DIRENT_HASHES()), at an offset derived from de->name_len. On the sb_no_casefold_compat_fallback() path ext4_match() reads that trailer, but ext4_search_dir()'s by-hand pre-check only tests de->name + de->name_len <= dlimit, which proves the name fits, not the rounded trailer. A crafted entry whose name ends at the block boundary passes the check while EXT4_DIRENT_HASHES(de) lands past the block end, so ext4_match() reads out of bounds on an ordinary lookup. KASAN reports it as a use-after-free when the page after the directory block holds a freed object: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ext4_match (fs/ext4/namei.c:1435) Read of size 4 at addr ffff888010458000 by task exploit Call Trace: ext4_match (fs/ext4/namei.c:1435) ext4_search_dir (fs/ext4/namei.c:1470) __ext4_find_entry (fs/ext4/namei.c:1268 fs/ext4/namei.c:1632) ext4_lookup (fs/ext4/namei.c:1703 fs/ext4/namei.c:1769) ... filename_lookup (fs/namei.c:2842) vfs_statx (fs/stat.c:353) __do_sys_newfstatat (fs/stat.c:538) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Require, for hash-in-dirent directories, that the whole entry including the rounded trailer fits before calling ext4_match(). This is the same bound ext4_check_dir_entry() already enforces via ext4_dir_rec_len(), so no well-formed entry is rejected. The other caller, ext4_find_dest_de(), runs ext4_check_dir_entry() first and is unaffected.

2026-07-22ext4: fix buffer_head leak in ext4_init_orphan_infoGuanghui Yang
ext4_init_orphan_info() reads orphan file blocks with ext4_bread() and stores the returned buffer_head in oi->of_binfo[i].ob_bh. If ext4_bread() succeeds but the orphan block magic or checksum validation fails, the function jumps to out_free. However, the old out_free loop starts releasing buffers from i - 1, so the current buffer_head at index i is skipped. This leaks the buffer_head reference obtained by ext4_bread() on the bad magic and bad checksum error paths. Fix this by tracking the number of successfully read buffer_heads and releasing exactly those buffer_heads on the error path.

2026-07-22ext4: clear error before retrying inode xattr space fallbackGuanghui Yang
When ext4_xattr_make_inode_space() returns -ENOSPC, ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() can retry the expansion with s_min_extra_isize. If that retry succeeds by finding enough ibody free space, control jumps directly to the shift label. The previous -ENOSPC is still stored in error in that path, so the function can update i_extra_isize but still return -ENOSPC to the caller. Clear error before retrying so a successful fallback expansion returns success. Reproduced with an ext4 image using 1 KiB blocks, project quota support, 256-byte inodes, and min_extra_isize/want_extra_isize set to 32.

2026-07-22ext4: propagate errors from fast commit range replayGuanghui Yang
ext4_fc_replay() stops replaying fast commit tags only when a tag handler returns a negative error. However, ext4_fc_replay_add_range() and ext4_fc_replay_del_range() currently return 0 from their common exit paths even after internal failures. This hides errors from ext4_fc_record_modified_inode(), ext4_map_blocks(), ext4_find_extent(), ext4_ext_insert_extent(), ext4_ext_replay_update_ex(), and ext4_ext_remove_space(). As a result, a failed ADD_RANGE or DEL_RANGE replay can be treated as successful and the replay code may continue with subsequent fast commit tags. This is particularly problematic for DEL_RANGE because it may already have marked blocks as free before ext4_ext_remove_space() fails. If the error is swallowed, replay may continue from a partially applied range operation. Return the saved error from the common exit paths and make the ERR_PTR() cases in ADD_RANGE store PTR_ERR() before jumping to out.

A corrupted directory can trigger the following KASAN report when ext4_readdir() resumes from an invalid position: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __ext4_check_dir_entry+0x5ef/0x820 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88810a646000 by task repro_linear/509 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x53/0x70 print_report+0xd0/0x630 kasan_report+0xce/0x100 __ext4_check_dir_entry+0x5ef/0x820 ext4_readdir+0xcde/0x2b70 iterate_dir+0x1a1/0x520 __x64_sys_getdents64+0x12b/0x220 do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f </TASK> KASAN reports use-after-free because the out-of-bounds access lands in an adjacent freed page. The directory buffer itself is still referenced. ext4_dir_llseek() invalidates the directory cookie so that ext4_readdir() rescans directory entries from the start of the block. The rescan checks only the lower bound of rec_len before advancing. A corrupted rec_len can therefore place the offset where the block has insufficient space for a complete directory entry. The rescan itself may dereference that truncated entry, or the main loop may pass it to __ext4_check_dir_entry(). The latter reads de->rec_len before validating the range. For example: block offset 0 4092 4096 |---- de1.rec_len = 4092 -----|----| de2.inode | de2.rec_len ^ OOB, reported as UAF de2 starts at offset 4092 in this 4 KiB block. Its four-byte inode fits in the block, but its rec_len starts at offset 4096 and crosses the boundary. The minimum safe length is inode-dependent. Encrypted and casefolded directory entries need eight additional hash bytes, while a valid metadata checksum tail is only 12 bytes. Cache the metadata checksum feature state and derive the minimum directory entry length from the on-disk format. Use it to bound both the rescan and the offset passed to the main loop. Report an offset in a truncated block tail and skip the remainder of the block, while continuing to accept an offset exactly at the block boundary.

2026-07-22ext4: cleanup unused CONVERT_INLINE_DATA flagAditya Prakash Srivastava
After implementing bitwise flags for tracking the inline data write state in the address space fsdata parameter, the CONVERT_INLINE_DATA state flag is left unused and can be removed. Perform this clean-up by: 1) Deleting the CONVERT_INLINE_DATA definition from ext4.h. 2) Removing the void **fsdata argument from both the forward declaration and the definition of the internal helper ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent(). 3) Removing the void **fsdata argument from the declaration and definition of ext4_generic_write_inline_data() and updating the caller ext4_try_to_write_inline_data() and the internal re-alloc retry logic accordingly. 4) Updating ext4_da_write_begin() to call ext4_generic_write_inline_data() without the fsdata parameter.

2026-07-22ext4: use fsdata to track inline data write state and fix raceAditya Prakash Srivastava
Instead of checking the live inode state (ext4_has_inline_data(inode) and ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA)) in the write_end handlers, use the fsdata parameter of the address space operations to explicitly pass down the state in which write_begin prepared the write. A concurrent thread (such as ext4_page_mkwrite()) can convert the inline data to an extent between write_begin and write_end. If this happens, the write_end handlers would previously miss the inline write_end path and fall through to extent-based write_end logic. However, since block buffers were never allocated in write_begin, this resulted in NULL pointer dereferences or data loss because folio_buffers(folio) was NULL. Define EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE (4) as a bit flag (Bit 2), treating fsdata as bitwise flags rather than mutually exclusive enums to keep states of the write path independent. Communicate this state via fsdata: 1) ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() set the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit in *fsdata via bitwise OR when an inline write is successfully prepared. 2) On entry, ext4_write_begin() clears the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit to safely handle VFS retries (where generic_perform_write() bypasses the fsdata initialization on its retry jump). 3) The write_end handlers perform a bitwise AND to check if the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit is set and invoke the inline write_end helper accordingly. Furthermore, during a buffered write, ext4_write_inline_data_end() acquires the xattr lock after preparing the write. If a concurrent page fault (ext4_page_mkwrite()) converts the inline data to an extent after the write_end handlers check the state but before ext4_write_inline_data_end() acquires the xattr write lock, the subsequent check will trigger a kernel panic via BUG_ON(!ext4_has_inline_data(inode)). To keep git history working and bisectability clean, replace the BUG_ON check in ext4_write_inline_data_end() with a graceful error- handling retry path in this same commit. If the inline data is cleared after locking the xattr, we safely release all resources (releasing iloc.bh, unlocking/putting the folio, stopping the active journal transaction handle) and return 0 (VFS retry) to let the generic write path retry the operation safely.

2026-07-22ext4: fix NOWAIT semantic violation in DAX extending writesBaokun Li
When a DAX write starts before EOF but extends past i_disksize, ext4_write_checks() skips the IOCB_NOWAIT check because iocb->ki_pos <= old_size. However, ext4_dax_write_iter() later calls ext4_journal_start() to prepare for inode extension, which can sleep waiting for journal space or transaction commit. This violates NOWAIT semantics and can stall asynchronous I/O frameworks like io_uring that rely on non-blocking behavior. Fix this by checking IOCB_NOWAIT before calling ext4_journal_start() in the extending write path. If NOWAIT is set and extension is needed, return -EAGAIN so the caller can retry in blocking context. Example scenario: - File: i_size = 1000, i_disksize = 1000 - DAX NOWAIT write: offset = 500, count = 2000 - ext4_write_checks(): ki_pos (500) <= old_size (1000), skip NOWAIT check - ext4_dax_write_iter(): offset + count (2500) > i_disksize (1000) - ext4_journal_start() → may sleep → violates NOWAIT Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org> Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260618125735.4156639-1-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com?part=5 Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Baokun Li <libaokun@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260629113827.4074335-7-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
