When using the "block:block_dirty_buffer" tracepoint, mark_buffer_dirty()
may cause a NULL pointer dereference, or a general protection fault when
KASAN is enabled.
This happens because, since the tracepoint was added in
mark_buffer_dirty(), it references the dev_t member bh->b_bdev->bd_dev
regardless of whether the buffer head has a pointer to a block_device
structure.
In the current implementation, nilfs_grab_buffer(), which grabs a buffer
to read (or create) a block of metadata, including b-tree node blocks,
does not set the block device, but instead does so only if the buffer is
not in the "uptodate" state for each of its caller block reading
functions. However, if the uptodate flag is set on a folio/page, and the
buffer heads are detached from it by try_to_free_buffers(), and new buffer
heads are then attached by create_empty_buffers(), the uptodate flag may
be restored to each buffer without the block device being set to
bh->b_bdev, and mark_buffer_dirty() may be called later in that state,
resulting in the bug mentioned above.
Fix this issue by making nilfs_grab_buffer() always set the block device
of the super block structure to the buffer head, regardless of the state
of the buffer's uptodate flag.

Patch series "nilfs2: fix null-ptr-deref bugs on block tracepoints".
This series fixes null pointer dereference bugs that occur when using
nilfs2 and two block-related tracepoints.
This patch (of 2):
It has been reported that when using "block:block_touch_buffer"
tracepoint, touch_buffer() called from __nilfs_get_folio_block() causes a
NULL pointer dereference, or a general protection fault when KASAN is
enabled.
This happens because since the tracepoint was added in touch_buffer(), it
references the dev_t member bh->b_bdev->bd_dev regardless of whether the
buffer head has a pointer to a block_device structure. In the current
implementation, the block_device structure is set after the function
returns to the caller.
Here, touch_buffer() is used to mark the folio/page that owns the buffer
head as accessed, but the common search helper for folio/page used by the
caller function was optimized to mark the folio/page as accessed when it
was reimplemented a long time ago, eliminating the need to call
touch_buffer() here in the first place.
So this solves the issue by eliminating the touch_buffer() call itself.

Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers
memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in
circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore
nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the
fs_reclaim pseudo lock.
This is because after commit 21fc61c73c ("don't put symlink bodies in
pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic
links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because
the __GFP_FS flag is dropped after inode_nohighmem() is called. However,
when a new symlink is created with nilfs_symlink(), the gfp flags remain
overwritten to GFP_KERNEL. Then, memory allocation called from
page_symlink() etc. triggers memory reclamation including the FS layer,
which may call nilfs_evict_inode() or nilfs_dirty_inode(). And these can
cause a deadlock if they are called while nilfs->ns_segctor_sem is held:
Fix this issue by dropping the __GFP_FS flag from the page cache GFP flags
of newly created symlinks in the same way that nilfs_new_inode() and
__nilfs_read_inode() do, as a workaround until we adopt nofs allocation
scope consistently or improve the locking constraints.

Syzbot reported that in directory operations after nilfs2 detects
filesystem corruption and degrades to read-only,
__block_write_begin_int(), which is called to prepare block writes, may
fail the BUG_ON check for accesses exceeding the folio/page size,
triggering a kernel bug.
This was found to be because the "checked" flag of a page/folio was not
cleared when it was discarded by nilfs2's own routine, which causes the
sanity check of directory entries to be skipped when the directory
page/folio is reloaded. So, fix that.
This was necessary when the use of nilfs2's own page discard routine was
applied to more than just metadata files.

Syzbot reported that a task hang occurs in vcs_open() during a fuzzing
test for nilfs2.
The root cause of this problem is that in nilfs_find_entry(), which
searches for directory entries, ignores errors when loading a directory
page/folio via nilfs_get_folio() fails.
If the filesystem images is corrupted, and the i_size of the directory
inode is large, and the directory page/folio is successfully read but
fails the sanity check, for example when it is zero-filled,
nilfs_check_folio() may continue to spit out error messages in bursts.
Fix this issue by propagating the error to the callers when loading a
page/folio fails in nilfs_find_entry().
The current interface of nilfs_find_entry() and its callers is outdated
and cannot propagate error codes such as -EIO and -ENOMEM returned via
nilfs_find_entry(), so fix it together.

The function nilfs_btree_check_delete(), which checks whether degeneration
to direct mapping occurs before deleting a b-tree entry, causes memory
access outside the block buffer when retrieving the maximum key if the
root node has no entries.
This does not usually happen because b-tree mappings with 0 child nodes
are never created by mkfs.nilfs2 or nilfs2 itself. However, it can happen
if the b-tree root node read from a device is configured that way, so fix
this potential issue by adding a check for that case.

Due to the nature of b-trees, nilfs2 itself and admin tools such as
mkfs.nilfs2 will never create an intermediate b-tree node block with 0
child nodes, nor will they delete (key, pointer)-entries that would result
in such a state. However, it is possible that a b-tree node block is
corrupted on the backing device and is read with 0 child nodes.
Because operation is not guaranteed if the number of child nodes is 0 for
intermediate node blocks other than the root node, modify
nilfs_btree_node_broken(), which performs sanity checks when reading a
b-tree node block, so that such cases will be judged as metadata
corruption.

Patch series "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes".
This series addresses three potential issues with empty b-tree nodes that
can occur with corrupted filesystem images, including one recently
discovered by syzbot.
This patch (of 3):
If a b-tree is broken on the device, and the b-tree height is greater than
2 (the level of the root node is greater than 1) even if the number of
child nodes of the b-tree root is 0, a NULL pointer dereference occurs in
nilfs_btree_prepare_insert(), which is called from nilfs_btree_insert().
This is because, when the number of child nodes of the b-tree root is 0,
nilfs_btree_do_lookup() does not set the block buffer head in any of
path[x].bp_bh, leaving it as the initial value of NULL, but if the level
of the b-tree root node is greater than 1, nilfs_btree_get_nonroot_node(),
which accesses the buffer memory of path[x].bp_bh, is called.
Fix this issue by adding a check to nilfs_btree_root_broken(), which
performs sanity checks when reading the root node from the device, to
detect this inconsistency.
Thanks to Lizhi Xu for trying to solve the bug and clarifying the cause
early on.

a timer and wakes up the log writer thread, is never called after the log
writer thread has terminated.
As a result, the member variable "sc_timer_task" of the "nilfs_sc_info"
structure, which was added when timer_setup() was adopted to retain a
reference to the log writer thread's task even after it had terminated, is
no longer needed, as it should be; we can simply use "sc_task" instead,
which holds a reference to the log writer thread's task for its lifetime.
So, eliminate "sc_timer_task" by this means.

In nilfs_iget_locked() and nilfs_ilookup(), which are used to find or

inodes has type information divided into multiple booleans, making type
determination complicated.
Simplify inode type determination by consolidating inode type information
into an unsigned integer represented by a comibination of flags and by
separating the type identification information for on-memory inodes from
the i_state member in the nilfs_inode_info structure.

nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty(), which marks a block in the sufile metadata file
as dirty in preparation for log writing, returns -ENOENT to the caller if
the block containing the segment usage of the specified segment is
missing.
This internal code can propagate through the log writer to system calls
such as fsync. To prevent this, treat this case as a filesystem error and
return -EIO instead.

nilfs_sufile_freev(), which is used to free segments in GC, aborts with
-ENOENT if the target segment usage is on a hole block.
This error only occurs if one of the segment numbers to be freed passed by
the GC ioctl is invalid, so return -EINVAL instead.
To avoid impairing readability, introduce a wrapper function that
encapsulates error handling including the error code conversion (and error
message output).

nilfs_sufile_free() returns the error code -ENOENT when the block where
the segment usage should be placed does not exist (hole block case), but
this error should not be propagated upwards to the mount system call.
In nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery(), one of the recovery steps during
mount, nilfs_sufile_free() is used and may return -ENOENT as is, so in
that case return -EINVAL instead.

Patch series "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation".
This series fixes potential issues where the result code -ENOENT, which is
returned internally when a metadata file operation encouters a hole block,
is exposed to user space without being properly handled.
Several issues with the same cause leading to hangs or WARN_ON check
failures have been reported by syzbot and fixed each time in the past.
This collectively fixes the missing -ENOENT conversions that do not cause
stability issues and are not covered by syzbot.
This patch (of 5):
The sufile, a metadata file that holds metadata for segment management,
has statistical information in its first block, but if reading this block
fails, it receives the internal code -ENOENT and returns it unchanged to
the callers.
To prevent this -ENOENT from being propagated to system calls, if reading
the header block fails, return -EIO (or -EINVAL depending on the context)
instead.

After detecting file system corruption and degrading to a read-only mount,
dirty folios and buffers in the page cache are cleared, and a large number
of warnings are output at that time, often filling up the kernel log.
In this case, since the degrading to a read-only mount is output to the
kernel log, these warnings are not very meaningful, and are rather a
nuisance in system management and debugging.
The related nilfs2-specific page/folio routines have a silent argument
that suppresses the warning output, but since it is not currently used
meaningfully, remove both the silent argument and the warning output.

After commit a694291a62 ("nilfs2: separate wait function from
nilfs_segctor_write") was applied, the log writing function
nilfs_segctor_do_construct() was able to issue I/O requests continuously
even if user data blocks were split into multiple logs across segments,
but two potential flaws were introduced in its error handling.
First, if nilfs_segctor_begin_construction() fails while creating the
second or subsequent logs, the log writing function returns without
calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction(), so the writeback flag set on
pages/folios will remain uncleared. This causes page cache operations to
hang waiting for the writeback flag. For example,
truncate_inode_pages_final(), which is called via nilfs_evict_inode() when
an inode is evicted from memory, will hang.
Second, the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag set on normal inodes remain uncleared.
As a result, if the next log write involves checkpoint creation, that's
fine, but if a partial log write is performed that does not, inodes with
NILFS_I_COLLECTED set are erroneously removed from the "sc_dirty_files"
list, and their data and b-tree blocks may not be written to the device,
corrupting the block mapping.
Fix these issues by uniformly calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction()
on failure of each step in the loop in nilfs_segctor_do_construct(),
having it clean up logs and segment usages according to progress, and
correcting the conditions for calling nilfs_redirty_inodes() to ensure
that the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag is cleared.

In an error injection test of a routine for mount-time recovery, KASAN
found a use-after-free bug.
It turned out that if data recovery was performed using partial logs
created by dsync writes, but an error occurred before starting the log
writer to create a recovered checkpoint, the inodes whose data had been
recovered were left in the ns_dirty_files list of the nilfs object and
were not freed.
Fix this issue by cleaning up inodes that have read the recovery data if
the recovery routine fails midway before the log writer starts.

The superblock buffers of nilfs2 can not only be overwritten at runtime
for modifications/repairs, but they are also regularly swapped, replaced
during resizing, and even abandoned when degrading to one side due to
backing device issues. So, accessing them requires mutual exclusion using
the reader/writer semaphore "nilfs->ns_sem".
Some sysfs attribute show methods read this superblock buffer without the
necessary mutual exclusion, which can cause problems with pointer
dereferencing and memory access, so fix it.

Syzbot reported that a buffer state inconsistency was detected in
nilfs_btnode_create_block(), triggering a kernel bug.
It is not appropriate to treat this inconsistency as a bug; it can occur
if the argument block address (the buffer index of the newly created
block) is a virtual block number and has been reallocated due to
corruption of the bitmap used to manage its allocation state.
So, modify nilfs_btnode_create_block() and its callers to treat it as a
possible filesystem error, rather than triggering a kernel bug.
