From e1fc4a90a90ea8514246c45435662531975937d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryusuke Konishi Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2025 23:23:49 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: protect access to buffers with no active references commit 367a9bffabe08c04f6d725032cce3d891b2b9e1a upstream. nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(), which iterates through the buffers attached to dirty data folios/pages, accesses the attached buffers without locking the folios/pages. For data cache, nilfs_clear_folio_dirty() may be called asynchronously when the file system degenerates to read only, so nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() still has the potential to cause use after free issues when buffers lose the protection of their dirty state midway due to this asynchronous clearing and are unintentionally freed by try_to_free_buffers(). Eliminate this race issue by adjusting the lock section in this function.
