Also, add a b-tree node size check in hfs_btree_open() with the goal to prevent an uninit-value bug reported by syzbot for the case of corrupted HFS+ image. - fix __hfs_bnode_create() by using kzalloc_flex() instead of kzalloc() (Rosen Penev) - fix early return in hfs_bnode_read() (Tristan Madani) hfs_bnode_read() can return early without writing to the output buffer when is_bnode_offset_valid() fails or when check_and_correct_requested_ length() corrects the length to zero. Callers such as hfs_bnode_read_ u16() and hfs_bnode_read_u8() pass stack-allocated buffers and use the result unconditionally, leading to KMSAN uninit-value reports.

As a result, previous and new sets of folder's items have overlapping values for the case of d_off 8. Currently, HFS+ has very complicated and fragile logic of rd->file->f_pos correction in hfsplus_delete_cat(). This patch removes this logic and it stores the current pos into hfsplus_readdir_data. Finally, if rd->pos == ctx->pos then hfsplus_readdir() tries to find the position in b-tree's node by means of hfsplus_cat_key. This position is used to re-start the folder's content traversal. sudo ./check generic/637 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 7.1.0-rc1+ #44 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 4 15:58:45 PDT 2026 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/637 22s ... 22s Ran: generic/637 Passed all 1 tests Closes: https://github.com/hfs-linux-kernel/hfs-linux-kernel/issues/198 cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260505220051.2854696-2-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko

hfsplus: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get

2026-05-11T14:50:28+00:00

Add case sensitivity reporting to the existing hfsplus_fileattr_get() function via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD flag. HFS+ always preserves case at rest. Case sensitivity depends on how the volume was formatted: HFSX volumes may be either case-sensitive or case-insensitive, indicated by the HFSPLUS_SB_CASEFOLD superblock flag. FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD is read-only: FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK ensures FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR strips it. The legacy FS_IOC_SETFLAGS path in hfsplus_fileattr_set() also allows FS_CASEFOLD_FL through its allowlist on case-insensitive volumes so that a chattr read-modify-write cycle does not fail with EOPNOTSUPP.

Pull hfsplus updates from Viacheslav Dubeyko: "This contains several fixes of syzbot reported issues and HFS+ fixes of xfstests failures. - Fix a syzbot reported issue of a KMSAN uninit-value in hfsplus_strcasecmp(). The root cause was that hfs_brec_read() doesn't validate that the on-disk record size matches the expected size for the record type being read. The fix introduced hfsplus_brec_read_cat() wrapper that validates the record size based on the type field and returns -EIO if size doesn't match (Deepanshu Kartikey) - Fix a syzbot reported issue of processing corrupted HFS+ images where the b-tree allocation bitmap indicates that the header node (Node 0) is free. Node 0 must always be allocated. Violating this invariant leads to allocator corruption, which cascades into kernel panics or undefined behavior. Prevent trusting a corrupted allocator state by adding a validation check during hfs_btree_open(). If corruption is detected, print a warning identifying the specific corrupted tree and force the filesystem to mount read-only (SB_RDONLY). This prevents kernel panics from corrupted images while enabling data recovery (Shardul Bankar) - Fix a potential deadlock in hfsplus_fill_super(). hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search structure, which acquires tree->tree_lock. If the subsequent call to hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root error label without releasing the lock. Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&fd) call before jumping to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree->tree_lock is properly released on the error path (Zilin Guan) - Update a files ctime after rename in hfsplus_rename() (Yangtao Li) The rest of the patches introduce the HFS+ fixes for the case of generic/348, generic/728, generic/533, generic/523, and generic/642 test-cases of xfstests suite" * tag 'hfs-v7.1-tag1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vdubeyko/hfs: hfsplus: fix generic/642 failure hfsplus: rework logic of map nodes creation in xattr b-tree hfsplus: fix logic of alloc/free b-tree node hfsplus: fix error processing issue in hfs_bmap_free() hfsplus: fix potential race conditions in b-tree functionality hfsplus: extract hidden directory search into a helper function hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super() hfsplus: fix generic/523 test-case failure hfsplus: validate b-tree node 0 bitmap at mount time hfsplus: refactor b-tree map page access and add node-type validation hfsplus: fix to update ctime after rename hfsplus: fix generic/533 test-case failure hfsplus: set ctime after setxattr and removexattr hfsplus: fix uninit-value by validating catalog record size hfsplus: fix potential Allocation File corruption after fsync

hfsplus: fix potential race conditions in b-tree functionality

2026-04-08T21:23:28+00:00

The HFS_BNODE_DELETED flag is checked in hfs_bnode_put() under locked tree->hash_lock. This patch adds locking for the case of setting the HFS_BNODE_DELETED flag in hfs_bnode_unlink() with the goal to avoid potential race conditions. The hfs_btree_write() method should be called under tree->tree_lock. This patch reworks logic by adding locking the tree->tree_lock for the calls of hfs_btree_write() in hfsplus_cat_write_inode() and hfsplus_system_write_inode(). This patch adds also the lockdep_assert_held() in hfs_bmap_reserve(), hfs_bmap_alloc(), and hfs_bmap_free(). cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260403230556.614171-2-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

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->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.

hfsplus: fix potential Allocation File corruption after fsync

2026-03-04T23:22:48+00:00

The generic/348 test-case has revealed the issue of HFS+ volume corruption after simulated power failure: FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.15.0-rc4+ #8 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu May 1 16:43:22 PDT 2025 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/348 _check_generic_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/loop51 is inconsistent (see xfstests-dev/results//generic/348.full for details) The fsck tool complains about Allocation File (block bitmap) corruption as a result of such event. The generic/348 creates a symlink, fsync its parent directory, power fail and mount again the filesystem. Currently, HFS+ logic has several flags HFSPLUS_I_CAT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_EXT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_ATTR_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_ALLOC_DIRTY. If inode operation modified the Catalog File, Extents Overflow File, Attributes File, or Allocation File, then inode is marked as dirty and one of the mentioned flags has been set. When hfsplus_file_fsync() has been called, then this set of flags is checked and dirty b-tree or/and block bitmap is flushed. However, block bitmap can be modified during file's content allocation. It means that if we call hfsplus_file_fsync() for directory, then we never flush the modified Allocation File in such case because such inode cannot receive HFSPLUS_I_ALLOC_DIRTY flag. Moreover, this inode-centric model is not good at all because Catalog File, Extents Overflow File, Attributes File, and Allocation File represent the whole state of file system metadata. This inode-centric policy is the main reason of the issue. This patch saves the whole approach of using HFSPLUS_I_CAT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_EXT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_ATTR_DIRTY, and HFSPLUS_I_ALLOC_DIRTY flags. But Catalog File, Extents Overflow File, Attributes File, and Allocation File have associated inodes. And namely these inodes become the mechanism of checking the dirty state of metadata. The hfsplus_file_fsync() method checks the dirtiness of file system metadata by testing HFSPLUS_I_CAT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_EXT_DIRTY, HFSPLUS_I_ATTR_DIRTY, and HFSPLUS_I_ALLOC_DIRTY flags of Catalog File's, Extents Overflow File's, Attributes File's, or Allocation File's inodes. As a result, even if we call hfsplus_file_fsync() for parent folder, then dirty Allocation File will be flushed anyway.
