commit 7c11c56eb3 upstream.
Kernel commit 0a6ce20c15 ("ext4: verify orphan file size is not too big")
limits the maximum supported orphan file size to 8 << 20.
However, in e2fsprogs, the orphan file size is set to 32–512 filesystem
blocks when creating a filesystem.
With 64k block size, formatting an ext4 fs >32G gives an orphan file bigger
than the kernel allows, so mount prints an error and fails:
EXT4-fs (vdb): orphan file too big: 8650752
EXT4-fs (vdb): mount failed
To prevent this issue and allow previously created 64KB filesystems to
mount, we updates the maximum allowed orphan file size in the kernel to
512 filesystem blocks.

commit 3f7a79d05c upstream.
When the MB_CHECK_ASSERT macro is enabled, an assertion failure can
occur in __mb_check_buddy when checking preallocated blocks (pa) in
a block group:
Assertion failure in mb_free_blocks() : "groupnr == e4b->bd_group"
This happens when a pa at the very end of a block group (e.g.,
pa_pstart=32765, pa_len=3 in a group of 32768 blocks) becomes
exhausted - its pa_pstart is advanced by pa_len to 32768, which
lies in the next block group. If this exhausted pa (with pa_len == 0)
is still in the bb_prealloc_list during the buddy check, the assertion
incorrectly flags it as belonging to the wrong group. A possible
sequence is as follows:
ext4_mb_new_blocks
ext4_mb_release_context
pa->pa_pstart += EXT4_C2B(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len)
pa->pa_len -= ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len
__mb_check_buddy
for each pa in group
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset
MB_CHECK_ASSERT(groupnr == e4b->bd_group)
To fix this, we modify the check to skip block group validation for
exhausted preallocations (where pa_len == 0). Such entries are in a
transitional state and will be removed from the list soon, so they
should not trigger an assertion. This change prevents the false
positive while maintaining the integrity of the checks for active
allocations.

[ Upstream commit d9ee3ff810 ]
When the MB_CHECK_ASSERT macro is enabled, we found that the
current validation logic in __mb_check_buddy has a gap in
detecting certain invalid buddy states, particularly related
to order-0 (bitmap) bits.
The original logic consists of three steps:
1. Validates higher-order buddies: if a higher-order bit is
set, at most one of the two corresponding lower-order bits
may be free; if a higher-order bit is clear, both lower-order
bits must be allocated (and their bitmap bits must be 0).
2. For any set bit in order-0, ensures all corresponding
higher-order bits are not free.
3. Verifies that all preallocated blocks (pa) in the group
have pa_pstart within bounds and their bitmap bits marked as
allocated.
However, this approach fails to properly validate cases where
order-0 bits are incorrectly cleared (0), allowing some invalid
configurations to pass:
corrupt integral
order 3 1 1
order 2 1 1 1 1
order 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
order 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Here we get two adjacent free blocks at order-0 with inconsistent
higher-order state, and the right one shows the correct scenario.
The root cause is insufficient validation of order-0 zero bits.
To fix this and improve completeness without significant performance
cost, we refine the logic:
1. Maintain the top-down higher-order validation, but we no longer
check the cases where the higher-order bit is 0, as this case will
be covered in step 2.
2. Enhance order-0 checking by examining pairs of bits:
- If either bit in a pair is set (1), all corresponding
higher-order bits must not be free.
- If both bits are clear (0), then exactly one of the
corresponding higher-order bits must be free
3. Keep the preallocation (pa) validation unchanged.
This change closes the validation gap, ensuring illegal buddy states
involving order-0 are correctly detected, while removing redundant
checks and maintaining efficiency.

commit 892e1cf175 upstream.
The cached ei->i_inline_size can become stale between the initial size
check and when ext4_update_inline_data()/ext4_create_inline_data() use
it. Although ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads the correct value at the
time of the check, concurrent xattr operations can modify i_inline_size
before ext4_write_lock_xattr() is acquired.
This causes ext4_update_inline_data() and ext4_create_inline_data() to
work with stale capacity values, leading to a BUG_ON() crash in
ext4_write_inline_data():
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:1331!
BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size);
The race window:
1. ext4_get_max_inline_size() reads i_inline_size = 60 (correct)
2. Size check passes for 50-byte write
3. [Another thread adds xattr, i_inline_size changes to 40]
4. ext4_write_lock_xattr() acquires lock
5. ext4_update_inline_data() uses stale i_inline_size = 60
6. Attempts to write 50 bytes but only 40 bytes actually available
7. BUG_ON() triggers
Fix this by recalculating i_inline_size via ext4_find_inline_data_nolock()
immediately after acquiring xattr_sem. This ensures ext4_update_inline_data()
and ext4_create_inline_data() work with current values that are protected
from concurrent modifications.
This is similar to commit a54c4613da ("ext4: fix race writing to an
inline_data file while its xattrs are changing") which fixed i_inline_off
staleness. This patch addresses the related i_inline_size staleness issue.

syzbot reported a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() when opening a verity
file on a corrupted ext4 filesystem mounted without a journal.
The issue is that the filesystem has an inode with both the INLINE_DATA
and EXTENTS flags set:
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_cache_extents:545: inode #15:
comm syz.0.17: corrupted extent tree: lblk 0 < prev 66
Investigation revealed that the inode has both flags set:
DEBUG: inode 15 - flag=1, i_inline_off=164, has_inline=1, extents_flag=1
This is an invalid combination since an inode should have either:
- INLINE_DATA: data stored directly in the inode
- EXTENTS: data stored in extent-mapped blocks
Having both flags causes ext4_has_inline_data() to return true, skipping
extent tree validation in __ext4_iget(). The unvalidated out-of-order
extents then trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() due to integer
underflow when calculating hole sizes.
Fix this by detecting this invalid flag combination early in ext4_iget()
and rejecting the corrupted inode.

When freeing metadata blocks in nojournal mode, ext4_forget() calls
bforget() to clear the dirty flag on the buffer_head and remvoe
associated mappings. This is acceptable if the metadata has not yet
begun to be written back. However, if the write-back has already started
but is not yet completed, ext4_forget() will have no effect.
Subsequently, ext4_mb_clear_bb() will immediately return the block to
the mb allocator. This block can then be reallocated immediately,
potentially causing an data corruption issue.
Fix this by clearing the buffer's dirty flag and waiting for the ongoing
I/O to complete, ensuring that no further writes to stale data will
occur.

"This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work()
the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies
to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that
makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is
a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq
to system_dfl_wq.
This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and
WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to
transition their calls. WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in a next release

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:

- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV

through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints

When orphan file feature is enabled, inode can be tracked as orphan
either in the standard orphan list or in the orphan file. The first can
be tested by checking ei->i_orphan list head, the second is recorded by
EXT4_STATE_ORPHAN_FILE inode state flag. There are several places where
we want to check whether inode is tracked as orphan and only some of
them properly check for both possibilities. Luckily the consequences are
mostly minor, the worst that can happen is that we track an inode as
orphan although we don't need to and e2fsck then complains (resulting in
occasional ext4/307 xfstest failures). Fix the problem by introducing a
helper for checking whether an inode is tracked as orphan and use it in
appropriate places.

During xattr block validation, check_xattrs() processes xattr entries
without validating that entries claiming to use EA inodes have non-zero
sizes. Corrupted filesystems may contain xattr entries where e_value_size
is zero but e_value_inum is non-zero, indicating invalid xattr data.
Add validation in check_xattrs() to detect this corruption pattern early
and return -EFSCORRUPTED, preventing invalid xattr entries from causing
issues throughout the ext4 codebase.

syzkaller found a path where ext4_xattr_inode_update_ref() reads an EA
inode refcount that is already <= 0 and then applies ref_change (often
-1). That lets the refcount underflow and we proceed with a bogus value,
triggering errors like:
EXT4-fs error: EA inode <n> ref underflow: ref_count=-1 ref_change=-1
EXT4-fs warning: ea_inode dec ref err=-117
Make the invariant explicit: if the current refcount is non-positive,
treat this as on-disk corruption, emit ext4_error_inode(), and fail the
operation with -EFSCORRUPTED instead of updating the refcount. Delete the
WARN_ONCE() as negative refcounts are now impossible; keep error reporting
in ext4_error_inode().
This prevents the underflow and the follow-on orphan/cleanup churn.

After running a stress test combined with fault injection,
we performed fsck -a followed by fsck -fn on the filesystem
image. During the second pass, fsck -fn reported:
Inode 131512, end of extent exceeds allowed value
(logical block 405, physical block 1180540, len 2)
This inode was not in the orphan list. Analysis revealed the
following call chain that leads to the inconsistency:
ext4_da_write_end()
//does not update i_disksize
ext4_punch_hole()
//truncate folio, keep size
ext4_page_mkwrite()
ext4_block_page_mkwrite()
ext4_block_write_begin()
ext4_get_block()
//insert written extent without update i_disksize
journal commit
echo 1 > /sys/block/xxx/device/delete
da-write path updates i_size but does not update i_disksize. Then
ext4_punch_hole truncates the da-folio yet still leaves i_disksize
unchanged(in the ext4_update_disksize_before_punch function, the
condition offset + len < size is met). Then ext4_page_mkwrite sees
ext4_nonda_switch return 1 and takes the nodioread_nolock path, the
folio about to be written has just been punched out, and it’s offset
sits beyond the current i_disksize. This may result in a written
extent being inserted, but again does not update i_disksize. If the
journal gets committed and then the block device is yanked, we might
run into this. It should be noted that replacing ext4_punch_hole with
ext4_zero_range in the call sequence may also trigger this issue, as
neither will update i_disksize under these circumstances.
To fix this, we can modify ext4_update_disksize_before_punch to
increase i_disksize to min(i_size, offset + len) when both i_size and
(offset + len) are greater than i_disksize.

In principle orphan file can be arbitrarily large. However orphan replay
needs to traverse it all and we also pin all its buffers in memory. Thus
filesystems with absurdly large orphan files can lead to big amounts of
memory consumed. Limit orphan file size to a sane value and also use
kvmalloc() for allocating array of block descriptor structures to avoid
large order allocations for sane but large orphan files.

Commit bc264fea0f ("iomap: support incremental iomap_iter advances")
changed the error handling logic in iomap_iter(). Previously any error
from iomap_dio_bio_iter() got propagated to userspace, after this commit
if ->iomap_end returns error, it gets propagated to userspace instead of
an error from iomap_dio_bio_iter(). This results in unaligned writes to
ext4 to silently fallback to buffered IO instead of erroring out.
Now returning ENOTBLK for DIO writes from ext4_iomap_end() seems
unnecessary these days. It is enough to return ENOTBLK from
ext4_iomap_begin() when we don't support DIO write for that particular
file offset (due to hole).

Currently, our handling of metadata is _ambiguous_ in some scenarios,
that is, we end up returning unknown if the range only covers the
mapping partially.
For example, in the following case:
$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d
0: 254:16 [0..7]: static fs metadata 8
1: 254:16 [8..15]: special 102:1 8
2: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112
3: 254:16 [5128..5255]: special 102:3 128
4: 254:16 [5256..5383]: special 102:4 128
5: 254:16 [5384..70919]: inodes 65536
6: 254:16 [70920..70967]: unknown 48
...
$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33
0: 254:16 [24..39]: unknown 16 <--- incomplete reporting
$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33 (With patch)
0: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112
This is because earlier in ext4_getfsmap_meta_helper, we end up ignoring
any extent that starts before our queried range, but overlaps it. While
the man page [1] is a bit ambiguous on this, this fix makes the output
make more sense since we are anyways returning an "unknown" extent. This
is also consistent to how XFS does it:
$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d
...
6: 254:16 [104..127]: free space 24
7: 254:16 [128..191]: inodes 64

The following code paths may result in high latency or even task hangs:
1. fastcommit io is throttled by wbt.
2. jbd2_fc_wait_bufs() might wait for a long time while
JBD2_FAST_COMMIT_ONGOING is set in journal->flags, and then
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() waits for the
JBD2_FAST_COMMIT_ONGOING bit for a long time while holding the write
lock of j_state_lock.
3. start_this_handle() waits for read lock of j_state_lock which
results in high latency or task hang.
Given the fact that ext4_fc_commit() already modifies the current

reasonable to match jbd2's IO submission flags as well.

In June 2015, commit c290ea01ab ("fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver")
removed the historic ext3 filesystem support as ext3 partitions are fully
supported with the ext4 filesystem support. To simplify updating the kernel
build configuration, which had only EXT3 support but not EXT4 support
enabled, the three config options EXT3_{FS,FS_POSIX_ACL,FS_SECURITY} were
kept, instead of immediately removing them. The three options just enable
the corresponding EXT4 counterparts when configs from older kernel versions
are used to build on later kernel versions. This ensures that the kernels
from those kernel build configurations would then continue to have EXT4
enabled for supporting booting from ext3 and ext4 file systems, to avoid
potential unexpected surprises.
Given that the kernel build configuration has no backwards-compatibility
guarantee and this transition phase for such build configurations has been
in place for a decade, we can reasonably expect all such users to have
transitioned to use the EXT4 config options in their config files at this
point in time. With that in mind, the three EXT3 config options are
obsolete by now.
Remove the obsolete EXT3 config options.

The implicit __GFP_NOFAIL flag in ext4_sb_bread() was removed in commit
8a83ac5494 ("ext4: call bdev_getblk() from sb_getblk_gfp()"), meaning
the function can now fail under memory pressure.
Most callers of ext4_sb_bread() propagate the error to userspace and do not
remount the filesystem read-only. However, ext4_free_branches() handles
ext4_sb_bread() failure by remounting the filesystem read-only.
This implies that an ext3 filesystem (mounted via the ext4 driver) could be
forcibly remounted read-only due to a transient page allocation failure,
which is unacceptable.
To mitigate this, introduce a new helper function, ext4_sb_bread_nofail(),
which explicitly uses __GFP_NOFAIL, and use it in ext4_free_branches().

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.
Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.

doing. inode_just_drop() should be much clearer.
The new naming is inconsistent with generic_drop_inode(), so rename that
one as well with inode_ as the suffix.
No functional changes.

Move the fsverity_info pointer into the filesystem-specific part of the
inode by adding the field ext4_inode_info::i_verity_info and configuring
fsverity_operations::inode_info_offs accordingly.
This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes
inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on
filesystems that don't support fsverity.

When the file system is frozen in preparation for taking an LVM
snapshot, the journal is checkpointed and if the orphan_file feature
is enabled, and the orphan file is empty, we clear the orphan_present
feature flag. But if there are pending inodes that need to be removed
the orphan_present feature flag can't be cleared.
The problem comes if the block device is read-only. In that case, we
can't process the orphan inode list, so it is skipped in
ext4_orphan_cleanup(). But then in ext4_mark_recovery_complete(),
this results in the ext4 error "Orphan file not empty on read-only fs"
firing and the file system mount is aborted.
Fix this by clearing the needs_recovery flag in the block device is
read-only. We do this after the call to ext4_load_and_init-journal()
since there are some error checks need to be done in case the journal
needs to be replayed and the block device is read-only, or if the
block device containing the externa journal is read-only, etc.

In some cases like small FSes with no meta_bg and where the resize
doesn't need extra gdt blocks as it can fit in the current one,
s_reserved_gdt_blocks is set as 0, which causes fsmap to emit a 0
length entry, which is incorrect.

With bigalloc enabled, the logic to report last extent has a bug since
we try to use cluster units instead of block units. This can cause an
issue where extra incorrect entries might be returned back to the
user. This was flagged by generic/365 with 64k bs and -O bigalloc.
** Details of issue **
The issue was noticed on 5G 64k blocksize FS with -O bigalloc which has
only 1 bg.
$ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d" /mnt/scratch
0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128 /* sb */
1: 253:48 [128..255]: special 102:1 128 /* gdt */
3: 253:48 [256..383]: special 102:3 128 /* block bitmap */
4: 253:48 [384..2303]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */
5: 253:48 [2304..2431]: special 102:4 128 /* inode bitmap */
6: 253:48 [2432..4351]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */
7: 253:48 [4352..6911]: inodes 2560
8: 253:48 [6912..538623]: unknown 531712
9: 253:48 [538624..10485759]: free space 9947136
The issue can be seen with:
$ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d 0 3" /mnt/scratch
0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128
1: 253:48 [384..2047]: unknown 1664
Only the first entry was expected to be returned but we get 2. This is
because:
ext4_getfsmap_datadev()
first_cluster, last_cluster = 0
...
info->gfi_last = true;
ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper(sb, end_ag, last_cluster + 1, 0, info);
fsb = C2B(1) = 16
fslen = 0
...
/* Merge in any relevant extents from the meta_list */
list_for_each_entry_safe(p, tmp, &info->gfi_meta_list, fmr_list) {
...
// since fsb = 16, considers all metadata which starts before 16 blockno
iter 1: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = sb (0,1), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 1
iter 2: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = gdt (1,2), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 2
iter 3: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = blk bitmap (2,3), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 3
iter 4: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = ino bitmap (18,19)
if (rec_blk > info->gfi_next_fsblk) { // (18 > 3)
// emits an extra entry ** BUG **
}
}
Fix this by directly calling ext4_getfsmap_datadev() with a dummy
record that has fmr_physical set to (end_fsb + 1) instead of
last_cluster + 1. By using the block instead of cluster we get the
correct behavior.
Replacing ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() with ext4_getfsmap_helper()
is okay since the gfi_lastfree and metadata checks in
ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() are anyways redundant when we only want
to emit the last allocated block of the range, as we have already
taken care of emitting metadata and any last free blocks.
