<title>f2fs: bound i_inline_xattr_size for non-inline-xattr inodes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:378acf3cf19b6af6cba55e8dd1154c4e1504bae8</id>
<content type='text'>
When the flexible_inline_xattr feature is enabled, do_read_inode() loads
the on-disk i_inline_xattr_size unconditionally:

	if (f2fs_sb_has_flexible_inline_xattr(sbi))
		fi-&gt;i_inline_xattr_size = le16_to_cpu(ri-&gt;i_inline_xattr_size);

but sanity_check_inode() only range-checks it when the inode also has the
FI_INLINE_XATTR flag set.  An inode that carries an inline dentry or inline
data but not FI_INLINE_XATTR -- the normal layout for an inline
directory -- therefore keeps a fully attacker-controlled
i_inline_xattr_size from a crafted image.

get_inline_xattr_addrs() returns that value with no flag gating, so it
feeds the inode geometry:

	MAX_INLINE_DATA()  = 4 * (CUR_ADDRS_PER_INODE - i_inline_xattr_size - 1)
	NR_INLINE_DENTRY() = MAX_INLINE_DATA() * BITS_PER_BYTE / (...)
	addrs_per_page()   = CUR_ADDRS_PER_INODE - i_inline_xattr_size

A large i_inline_xattr_size drives MAX_INLINE_DATA() and NR_INLINE_DENTRY()
negative, so make_dentry_ptr_inline() sets d-&gt;max (int) to a negative
value.  The inline directory walk then compares an unsigned long bit_pos
against that negative d-&gt;max, which is promoted to a huge unsigned bound,
and reads far past the inline area:

	while (bit_pos &lt; d-&gt;max)		/* fs/f2fs/dir.c */
		... test_bit_le(bit_pos, d-&gt;bitmap) / d-&gt;dentry[bit_pos] ...

Mounting a crafted image and reading such a directory triggers an
out-of-bounds read in f2fs_fill_dentries(); the same underflow also
corrupts ADDRS_PER_INODE for regular files.

Validate i_inline_xattr_size against MAX_INLINE_XATTR_SIZE whenever the
flexible_inline_xattr feature is enabled -- i.e. whenever the value is
loaded from disk and consumed -- and keep the lower MIN_INLINE_XATTR_SIZE
bound gated on inodes that actually carry an inline xattr, so legitimate
inodes with i_inline_xattr_size == 0 are still accepted.

<title>f2fs: validate compress cache inode only when enabled</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5073c66a96a9c23c0c2533ed4ed06e42f9021208</id>
<content type='text'>
F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() uses NM_I(sbi)-&gt;max_nid as the synthetic inode
number for the compressed page cache inode. That inode only exists when
the compress_cache mount option is enabled.

When compress_cache is disabled, max_nid is outside the valid inode
range. A corrupted directory entry that points to ino == max_nid should
therefore be rejected by f2fs_check_nid_range(). However, is_meta_ino()
currently treats F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() as a meta inode unconditionally,
so f2fs_iget() bypasses do_read_inode() and its nid range check, and
instantiates a fake internal inode instead.

Gate the compressed cache inode case on COMPRESS_CACHE, matching
f2fs_init_compress_inode(). With compress_cache disabled, ino ==
max_nid now follows the normal inode path and is rejected as an
out-of-range nid.

This patch supports to report fserror, it provides another way to let
userspace to monitor filesystem level error. In addition, it exports
/sys/fs/f2fs/features/fserror once f2fs kernel module start to support
the new feature, then generic/791 of fstests can notice the feature,
and verify validation of fserror report.

f2fs_update_inode() reads inode-&gt;i_blocks without holding i_lock to
serialize it to the on-disk inode, while concurrent truncate or
allocation paths may modify i_blocks under i_lock.  Since blkcnt_t is
u64, this risks torn reads on 32-bit architectures.

Following the approach in ext4_inode_blocks_set(), add READ_ONCE() to prevent
potential compiler-induced tearing.

<title>treewide: change inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b2600f81cefcdfcda58d50df7be8fd48ada8ce2</id>
<content type='text'>
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance
  optimizations:

   - introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for
     immutable files

   - reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty
     pages

   - implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority
     inversion.

  Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA
  footprint when utilizing large block sizes.

  Detail summary:

  Enhancements:
   - support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
   - support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
   - optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
   - optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
   - optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
   - add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in
     f2fs_write_checkpoint
   - pin files do not require sbi-&gt;writepages lock for ordering
   - avoid f2fs_map_blocks() for consecutive holes in readpages
   - flush plug periodically during GC to maximize readahead effect
   - add tracepoints to catch lock overheads
   - add several sysfs entries to tune internal lock priorities

  Fixes:
   - fix lock priority inversion issue
   - fix incomplete block usage in compact SSA summaries
   - fix to show simulate_lock_timeout correctly
   - fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile
   - fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by
     concurrent atomic commit and checkpoint writes
   - fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()"
