Subject: [PATCH 6.12] btrfs: prevent use-after-free prealloc_file_extent_cluster()
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 10:53:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260131185335.72204-1-inwardvessel@gmail.com> (raw)

Users of filemap_lock_folio() need to guard against the situation where
release_folio() has been invoked during reclaim but the folio was
ultimately not removed from the page cache. This patch covers one location
that was overlooked. Affected code has changed as of 6.17, so this patch is
only targeting stable trees prior.

After acquiring the folio, use set_folio_extent_mapped() to ensure the
folio private state is valid. This is especially important in the subpage
case, where the private field is an allocated struct containing bitmap and
lock data.

Without this protection, the race below is possible:

[mm] page cache reclaim path        [fs] relocation in subpage mode
shrink_folio_list()
  folio_trylock() /* lock acquired */
  filemap_release_folio()
    mapping->a_ops->release_folio()
      btrfs_release_folio()
        __btrfs_release_folio()
          clear_folio_extent_mapped()
            btrfs_detach_folio_state()
              bfs = folio_detach_private(folio)
              btrfs_free_folio_state(folio)
                kfree(bfs) /* point A */

                                   prealloc_file_extent_cluster()
                                     filemap_lock_folio()
                                       folio_try_get() /* inc refcount */
                                       folio_lock() /* wait for lock */

  if (...)
    ...
  else if (!mapping || !__remove_mapping(..))
    /*
     * __remove_mapping() returns zero when
     * folio_ref_freeze(folio, refcount) fails /* point B */
     */
    goto keep_locked /* folio remains in cache */

keep_locked:
  folio_unlock(folio) /* lock released */

                                   /* lock acquired */
                                   btrfs_subpage_clear_updodate()
                                     bfs = folio->priv /* use-after-free */

This patch is intended as a minimal fix for backporting to affected
kernels. As of 6.17, a commit [0] replaced the vulnerable
filemap_lock_folio() + btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate() sequence with
filemap_invalidate_inode() avoiding the race entirely. That commit was part
of a series with a different goal of preparing for large folio support so
backporting may not be straight forward.
