------------------------------------------------------ From: Ryusuke Konishi konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com Subject: nilfs2: fix potential bug in end_buffer_async_write Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2024 01:16:45 +0900

According to a syzbot report, end_buffer_async_write(), which handles the completion of block device writes, may detect abnormal condition of the buffer async_write flag and cause a BUG_ON failure when using nilfs2.

Nilfs2 itself does not use end_buffer_async_write(). But, the async_write flag is now used as a marker by commit 7f42ec394156 ("nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks") as a means of resolving double list insertion of dirty blocks in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and nilfs_lookup_node_buffers() and the resulting crash.

This modification is safe as long as it is used for file data and b-tree node blocks where the page caches are independent. However, it was irrelevant and redundant to also introduce async_write for segment summary and super root blocks that share buffers with the backing device. This led to the possibility that the BUG_ON check in end_buffer_async_write would fail as described above, if independent writebacks of the backing device occurred in parallel.

The use of async_write for segment summary buffers has already been removed in a previous change.

Fix this issue by removing the manipulation of the async_write flag for the remaining super root block buffer.
