Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] ntfs: update index root allocated size before shrink
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 14:17:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607051723.1499833-4-charsyam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607051723.1499833-1-charsyam@gmail.com>
ntfs_ir_truncate() currently shrinks the resident $INDEX_ROOT value first
and only updates index.allocated_size after re-looking up the attribute.
During that relookup, the resident value_length can already be smaller
while index.allocated_size still contains the old larger size.
That leaves a transiently inconsistent $INDEX_ROOT layout and prevents
lookup-time $INDEX_ROOT validation from being enabled: validation can
correctly reject allocated_size extending past the newly shrunk resident
value.
When shrinking, lower index.allocated_size before shrinking value_length.
If the truncate fails, restore the old allocated_size. Keep the existing
grow ordering because the old allocated_size remains within the enlarged
resident value until it is updated after the relookup. The shrink path is
safe because the new value_length still covers struct index_root, so the
index.allocated_size field remains present while it is updated first.
