From 5c48a7df91499e371ef725895b2e2d21a126e227 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yi yi.zhang@huawei.com Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2021 17:09:37 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix an use-after-free issue about data=journal writeback mode
Our syzkaller report an use-after-free issue that accessing the freed buffer_head on the writeback page in __ext4_journalled_writepage(). The problem is that if there was a truncate racing with the data=journalled writeback procedure, the writeback length could become zero and bget_one() refuse to get buffer_head's refcount, then the truncate procedure release buffer once we drop page lock, finally, the last ext4_walk_page_buffers() trigger the use-after-free problem.
sync truncate ext4_sync_file() file_write_and_wait_range() ext4_setattr(0) inode->i_size = 0 ext4_writepage() len = 0 __ext4_journalled_writepage() page_bufs = page_buffers(page) ext4_walk_page_buffers(bget_one) <- does not get refcount do_invalidatepage() free_buffer_head() ext4_walk_page_buffers(page_bufs) <- trigger use-after-free
After commit bdf96838aea6 ("ext4: fix race between truncate and __ext4_journalled_writepage()"), we have already handled the racing case, so the bget_one() and bput_one() are not needed. So this patch simply remove these hunk, and recheck the i_size to make it safe.
