nilfs2: handle errors that nilfs_prepare_chunk() may return

nilfs2: handle errors that nilfs_prepare_chunk() may return

commit ee70999a988b8abc3490609142f50ebaa8344432 upstream.

Patch series "nilfs2: fix issues with rename operations".

This series fixes BUG_ON check failures reported by syzbot around rename
operations, and a minor behavioral issue where the mtime of a child
directory changes when it is renamed instead of moved.

This patch (of 2):

The directory manipulation routines nilfs_set_link() and
nilfs_delete_entry() rewrite the directory entry in the folio/page
previously read by nilfs_find_entry(), so error handling is omitted on the
assumption that nilfs_prepare_chunk(), which prepares the buffer for
rewriting, will always succeed for these. And if an error is returned, it
triggers the legacy BUG_ON() checks in each routine.

This assumption is wrong, as proven by syzbot: the buffer layer called by
nilfs_prepare_chunk() may call nilfs_get_block() if necessary, which may
fail due to metadata corruption or other reasons. This has been there all
along, but improved sanity checks and error handling may have made it more
reproducible in fuzzing tests.

Fix this issue by adding missing error paths in nilfs_set_link(),
nilfs_delete_entry(), and their caller nilfs_rename().

nilfs2: move page release outside of nilfs_delete_entry and nilfs_set_link

nilfs2: move page release outside of nilfs_delete_entry and nilfs_set_link

commit 584db20c181f5e28c0386d7987406ace7fbd3e49 upstream.

Patch series "nilfs2: Folio conversions for directory paths".

This series applies page->folio conversions to nilfs2 directory
operations. This reduces hidden compound_head() calls and also converts
deprecated kmap calls to kmap_local in the directory code.

Although nilfs2 does not yet support large folios, Matthew has done his
best here to include support for large folios, which will be needed for
devices with large block sizes.

This series corresponds to the second half of the original post [1], but
with two complementary patches inserted at the beginning and some
adjustments, to prevent a kmap_local constraint violation found during
testing with highmem mapping.

[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231106173903.1734114-1-willy@infradead.org

I have reviewed all changes and tested this for regular and small block
sizes, both on machines with and without highmem mapping. No issues
found.

This patch (of 17):

In a few directory operations, the call to nilfs_put_page() for a page
obtained using nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() is hidden in
nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry(), making it difficult to track
page release and preventing change of its call position.

By moving nilfs_put_page() out of these functions, this makes the page
get/put correspondence clearer and makes it easier to swap
nilfs_put_page() calls (and kunmap calls within them) when modifying
multiple directory entries simultaneously in nilfs_rename().

Also, update comments for nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry() to
reflect changes in their behavior.

To make nilfs_put_page() visible from namei.c, this moves its definition
to nilfs.h and replaces existing equivalents to use it, but the exposure
of that definition is temporary and will be removed on a later kmap ->
kmap_local conversion.

nilfs2: fix potential out-of-bounds memory access in nilfs_find_entry()

nilfs2: fix potential out-of-bounds memory access in nilfs_find_entry()

commit 985ebec4ab0a28bb5910c3b1481a40fbf7f9e61d upstream.

Syzbot reported that when searching for records in a directory where the
inode's i_size is corrupted and has a large value, memory access outside
the folio/page range may occur, or a use-after-free bug may be detected if
KASAN is enabled.

This is because nilfs_last_byte(), which is called by nilfs_find_entry()
and others to calculate the number of valid bytes of directory data in a
page from i_size and the page index, loses the upper 32 bits of the 64-bit
size information due to an inappropriate type of local variable to which
the i_size value is assigned.

This caused a large byte offset value due to underflow in the end address
calculation in the calling nilfs_find_entry(), resulting in memory access
that exceeds the folio/page size.

Fix this issue by changing the type of the local variable causing the bit
loss from "unsigned int" to "u64". The return value of nilfs_last_byte()
is also of type "unsigned int", but it is truncated so as not to exceed
PAGE_SIZE and no bit loss occurs, so no change is required.

nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()

commit 08cfa12adf888db98879dbd735bc741360a34168 upstream.

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.

nilfs2: fix kernel bug on rename operation of broken directory

commit a9e1ddc09ca55746079cc479aa3eb6411f0d99d4 upstream.

Syzbot reported that in rename directory operation on broken directory on
nilfs2, __block_write_begin_int() called to prepare block write may fail
BUG_ON check for access exceeding the folio/page size.

This is because nilfs_dotdot(), which gets parent directory reference
entry ("..") of the directory to be moved or renamed, does not check
consistency enough, and may return location exceeding folio/page size for
broken directories.

Fix this issue by checking required directory entries ("." and "..") in
the first chunk of the directory in nilfs_dotdot().

nilfs2: add missing check for inode numbers on directory entries

commit bb76c6c274683c8570ad788f79d4b875bde0e458 upstream.

Syzbot reported that mounting and unmounting a specific pattern of
corrupted nilfs2 filesystem images causes a use-after-free of metadata
file inodes, which triggers a kernel bug in lru_add_fn().

As Jan Kara pointed out, this is because the link count of a metadata file
gets corrupted to 0, and nilfs_evict_inode(), which is called from iput(),
tries to delete that inode (ifile inode in this case).

The inconsistency occurs because directories containing the inode numbers
of these metadata files that should not be visible in the namespace are
read without checking.

Fix this issue by treating the inode numbers of these internal files as
errors in the sanity check helper when reading directory folios/pages.

Also thanks to Hillf Danton and Matthew Wilcox for their initial mm-layer
analysis.

nilfs2: fix nilfs_empty_dir() misjudgment and long loop on I/O errors

[ Upstream commit 7373a51e7998b508af7136530f3a997b286ce81c ]

The error handling in nilfs_empty_dir() when a directory folio/page read
fails is incorrect, as in the old ext2 implementation, and if the
folio/page cannot be read or nilfs_check_folio() fails, it will falsely
determine the directory as empty and corrupt the file system.

In addition, since nilfs_empty_dir() does not immediately return on a
failed folio/page read, but continues to loop, this can cause a long loop
with I/O if i_size of the directory's inode is also corrupted, causing the
log writer thread to wait and hang, as reported by syzbot.

Fix these issues by making nilfs_empty_dir() immediately return a false
value (0) if it fails to get a directory folio/page.

nilfs2: fix OOB in nilfs_set_de_type

commit c4a7dc9523b59b3e73fd522c73e95e072f876b16 upstream.

The size of the nilfs_type_by_mode array in the fs/nilfs2/dir.c file is
defined as "S_IFMT >> S_SHIFT", but the nilfs_set_de_type() function,
which uses this array, specifies the index to read from the array in the
same way as "(mode & S_IFMT) >> S_SHIFT".

static void nilfs_set_de_type(struct nilfs_dir_entry *de, struct inode
*inode)
{
umode_t mode = inode->i_mode;

de->file_type = nilfs_type_by_mode[(mode & S_IFMT)>>S_SHIFT]; // oob
}

However, when the index is determined this way, an out-of-bounds (OOB)
error occurs by referring to an index that is 1 larger than the array size
when the condition "mode & S_IFMT == S_IFMT" is satisfied. Therefore, a
patch to resize the nilfs_type_by_mode array should be applied to prevent
OOB errors.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.

The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.

Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).

If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.

This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.

Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.

- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.

- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

nilfs2: convert to ctime accessor functions

In later patches, we're going to change how the inode's ctime field is
used. Switch to using accessor functions instead of raw accesses of
inode->i_ctime.
